What's the deal with honeycomb blinds?

Honeycomb blinds offer unique style and genuine substance in one tidy package

Honeycomb blinds (also known as cellular blinds) are not only thoroughly modern looking, they're actually quite clever too! The unique cell structure traps small pockets of air improving thermal performance substantially when compared to any other blind. And by minimising the transference of warm air into or out of a room, honeycomb blinds are a great way to reduce energy use at home.

Honeycomb blinds are suitable for most windows or doors thanks to their neat aesthetic, versatility and highly-effective performance. The main covering is made from lightweight polyester fabric in either a lined blockout and light-filtering option, and presents with a single 38mm open cell (25mm when flat) that compresses or expands based on usage.

A great benefit of Honeycombs over other blinds is their slimline profile. With only a 45mm depth required for flush recess fitting, they are well-suited to a wider number of window and door types. And talking of recess fitting, another attribute that helps improve thermal performance (as well as light reduction and privacy) is the incredibly snug fit that Honeycomb provide inside a recess thanks to the very slight fabric indent required by the slimline headrail and brackets.

It's also worth noting that a cordless Honeycomb blind is a great option for children's rooms as it removes the risks associated with dangling control cords or chains.

It's no surprise that with our often harsh weather conditions, Honeycomb blinds are quickly gaining popularity in Australia.

Here's a quick recap on why they could be a great option for you:

• Sleek, contemporary aesthetics

• Fit super snugly inside window recesses

• Provide highly-effective thermal insulation

• Offer a safer option for children rooms and nurseries
