How Cellular Shades Work
Cellular shades, also called honeycomb shades, are named for their cross-section. Inside the shade are air pockets that act as a thermal buffer between your window and your room. In Utah winters, this matters. A room with large south or west-facing windows loses significant heat through the glass. Cellular shades reduce that loss.
In summer, the same principle works in reverse. Utah gets over 220 sunny days per year, and the afternoon sun intensity, especially on west-facing windows, drives heat into the room. Cellular shades block that solar gain. On a 70-degree spring day with bright sun, a room with cellular shades will feel measurably cooler than the same room without them.

The Right Shade for Your Room and Climate
Cellular shades aren't the answer for every room, but they're the answer for a lot of them. They tend to come up when insulation matters, bedrooms, living rooms, home offices, and when a soft, modern look fits the space. They pair beautifully with contemporary and transitional interiors.
They're less common in formal dining rooms, where drapes tend to add more warmth and presence, or in rooms where you need maximum blackout without a secondary covering. But in a primary bedroom in South Jordan with west-facing windows that get baked by afternoon sun? They're often the right fit, and that's exactly the kind of conversation you'll have at your free consultation.
Guided by Ashley, Installed By Us
West Shade Co is not a big-box installation service. Ashley Ivie founded this company in 2020 after 20 years of residential interior design because she kept watching clients get the wrong window coverings (wrong scale, wrong material, wrong function) from people who were selling products instead of solving design problems.
Every project starts with a free in-home consultation. Ashley brings samples to you. She measures every window herself. The shades are ordered to your exact specifications and installed by our team from start to finish. We carry Alta and Graber, two of the best shade manufacturers in the industry, and offer a Manufacturer's Lifetime Warranty on all products.
We serve South Jordan, Draper, Sandy, West Jordan, Riverton, Herriman, and surrounding areas in Salt Lake County.
The quality and professionalism of West Shade Co. is exceptional. I highly recommend.
