Most windows need two things at different times: daylight in the morning and darkness at bedtime. inCustom’s Day & Night Cellular Shade, which is cordless and installs without drilling, tries to cover both with one product.
It is the shade the inCustom homepage promotes most, and prices begin at $30.99 for the smallest custom size. Its pitch is a single shade with two fabric layers, where one tug moves you from one layer to the other.
To judge that idea, we studied the specs and the testimonials the brand publishes itself.
Honeycomb Fabric and Two Layers
Inside the shade is a honeycomb of hexagonal cells. It is the cellular design behind this category’s energy-efficiency reputation.
The cells hold pockets of trapped air, and that air adds insulation. Aluminum film built into the fabric is intended to stop UV rays and keep room temperature in check.
The fabric itself is a hydro-entangled non-woven material, according to inCustom’s product listing. The listing calls it tough, resistant to tearing and non-toxic.
Two layers explain the “day and night” name. One filters the light, and the other shuts out nearly all of it.
One pull moves between the layers, so you do not need to buy separate shades for privacy and for daylight.
No-Drill, Cordless Mounting
A triple-track aluminum frame holds the shade, and it is built for installation without drilling. On top sits an arch-shaped cassette, which looks more polished than a bare roller tube.
The shade is fully cordless. If kids or pets live in the home, that matters, since cordless operation eliminates the strangulation risk that corded shades carry.
Most of inCustom’s indoor shades offer no-drill installation, so it is not unique to this model.
What Buyer Feedback Exists
On its own product page, this shade shows no public star rating and no review count. Most individual listings in inCustom’s catalog are the same.
The nearest thing to buyer feedback that we could verify is the set of testimonials on the brand’s homepage. One of them, credited to a customer named Jessica, praises the honeycomb design for insulating well and keeping the room cozy.
That is one testimonial, not a database of reviews. Think of it as a single data point, not proof.
A large public review count may matter to you before buying. If so, weigh its absence against the price.
Versus Other Options
Compared with inCustom’s zebra blinds, this cellular shade does better on insulation and noise reduction because of its honeycomb structure. Zebra blinds have the edge for the sheer-to-solid visual effect.
The trade-off against pricier national retailers applies across inCustom’s whole catalog. Starting prices are lower, while the public review history is much smaller.
Who Should Buy It
A shade that filters light and also blacks out a room, at a factory-direct starting price, makes this the easiest entry point to inCustom’s catalog.
