Frequently asked
Are Alta honeycomb shades the same as cellular shades?
Yes, the terms are interchangeable. The honeycomb structure creates soft air pockets that provide both style and light control for your home.
What is the benefit of BandLift?
BandLift allows you to adjust your shade from the top or bottom. It gives you the flexibility to let in natural light while keeping your lower window private.
Can I have two fabrics in one shade?
Yes. A two-fabric shade lets you choose between a light-filtering material and a blackout material, giving you two levels of control in a single unit.
How do I cover my patio door?
We offer vertical cellular shades designed to slide open along your patio door. They coordinate with your window shades for a tidy, modern look.
Are all shaped windows functional?
Many arches and angular shapes are available. Some stay in a fixed position while others can be operable, so we will help you find the best solution for your space.
Can I work with Morningside from Calgary?
Certainly. Please send us photos of your windows and your location. We coordinate consultations by phone or video for homes across Alberta and provide direct shipping.
How do I care for my shades?
A light dusting or gentle vacuum with a brush attachment keeps them looking fresh. Avoid harsh cleaners or submerging the fabric in water to protect its structure.
Do you handle the measuring?
We guide you through the measurements to ensure your shades fit your window well. We check all details before your order is made.
