Out of everything in inCustom’s catalog, this is the shade the homepage leans on hardest: the Cordless No-Drill Day & Night Cellular Shade, starting at $30.99 for the smallest custom size. It’s built around a single idea. One shade, two fabric layers, and one pull to switch between them. I went through the full spec sheet and the brand’s own testimonials to see if that idea holds up.
What it’s made of
The shade uses a hexagonal honeycomb structure, the same cellular design that gives this category its energy-efficiency reputation. Trapped air pockets inside the honeycomb add insulation, and a built-in aluminum film is meant to block UV rays and help regulate room temperature. inCustom’s own product listing describes the fabric as hydro-entangled non-woven material: durable, tear-resistant, and non-toxic.
The “day and night” part comes from the dual-layer build. One layer filters light, the other blocks it almost completely, and a single pull switches between the two instead of needing separate shades for privacy and daylight.
Installation and operation
This model mounts on a triple-track aluminum frame designed for no-drill installation, paired with an arch-shaped cassette for a more finished look than an exposed roller tube. Operation is fully cordless, which matters if you have kids or pets in the house since it removes the strangulation risk that comes with corded shades.
No-drill installation is one of the features that shows up across most of inCustom’s indoor lineup, not just this shade. I cover how it compares to the brand’s other mounting options in my shade types explained guide.
What buyers are actually saying
This exact product doesn’t carry a public star rating or review count on its own page, which is true of most individual listings in inCustom’s catalog. The closest thing to buyer feedback I could verify comes from the brand’s homepage testimonials. One, credited to a customer named Jessica, specifically praises the honeycomb design: “It insulates perfectly and keeps the room cozy.”
That’s a single testimonial, not a review database, so treat it as a data point rather than proof. If a large public review count before you buy matters to you, that’s worth weighing against the price.
How it compares
Against inCustom’s own zebra blinds, this cellular shade wins on insulation and noise reduction thanks to the honeycomb structure, while zebra blinds win on the sheer-to-solid visual effect. Against pricier national retailers, the trade-off is the same one that applies across inCustom’s whole catalog. Lower starting prices in exchange for a much smaller public review history.
Should you buy it
If you want a genuinely useful two-in-one shade (light filtering plus full blackout) at a factory-direct starting price, this is the easiest entry point into inCustom’s catalog. Measure carefully before ordering. inCustom’s Measurement Protection only covers one free remake per residential order, and returns on made-to-order items are limited to quality issues or major errors.
