Honeycomb Blinds

Q: Can you see through honeycomb shades at night?

This will only be possible if you choose a sheer fabric for your honeycomb shades as they otherwise have no gaps in them.

Q: Do honeycomb blinds keep heat in?

Yes, honeycomb blinds are excellent at keeping the heat in, all year round.

Honeycomb blinds offer an excellent way to allow some natural light into a room while blocking direct sunlight. Sometimes called cellular blinds, honeycomb blinds have a unique 3D structure that traps air inside, creating an insulating layer between your window and the rest of the room. With their unique design, honeycomb shades provide an excellent insulation by trapping air within the cells, creating a barrier that helps regulate indoor temperatures. ArchiPro has worked with trusted suppliers from across Australia to bring you the highest quality honeycomb blinds on the market.

Styles of honeycomb blinds

Single layered

Honeycomb blinds have two layers of fabric or paper pressed together into tubes. These tubes look like honeycomb from the side, hence the name.

Double layered

Double honeycomb blinds have three layers of material pressed together instead of one, which forms a double layer of honeycomb. This provides both structural support and increased thermal insulation.

Vertical cells

Vertical honeycomb blinds have the seams between honeycombs running vertically, so the blinds can be pulled to the side. These are useful for floor to ceiling windows and patio doors.

Horizontal cells

Horizontal honeycomb blinds are similar to vertical cellular blinds but run horizontally. This allows them to be stacked upwards when opened in a more traditional manner.

Insulating

Although all honeycomb blinds have insulating properties, some are specifically designed with insulation in mind. These have heat reflective layers inside them to stop warmth from passing through the blind.

The advantages of high-quality honeycomb blinds

High-quality honeycomb blinds are made of better materials, and so are more effective at both filtering light and insulating the room.

Higher quality materials also allow the blinds to be more resistant to wear and tear, increasing the lifetime of your blinds. In particular, it’s important that paper honeycomb blinds be made of durable, humidity-resistant paper, or else they will tear and distort over time.

How to choose honeycomb blinds that are right for you

You’ll first want to ensure that you have the correct measurements for the door or window that is going to have blinds installed. Most honeycomb blinds are custom made, so having the exact measurements is important. Another important factor is the opacity and quality of the fabric. This will impact the privacy and insulation that the blinds provide. For instance, a sheer fabric will allow more light into the room and be more breathable than a thicker/darker fabric choice. Getting in touch with one of ArchiPro’s trusted suppliers in Australia, is also a great thing to do for some professional advice on this and the installation process. A great alternative to honeycomb blinds is venetian blinds which provide superior light control, versatile style options, affordability, easy maintenance, and a timeless aesthetic. Add blind accessories to optimise the performance and aesthetics of your window blinds. Additional options for blinds include Roman blinds, vertical blinds, roller blinds or shutters.

How long do honeycomb blinds last?

Depending on the materials and environment, honeycomb blinds last between five and 10 years. This is usually about the time after which you’ll want a stylistic refresh too.
