Honeycomb Blinds in Newcastle & Lake Macquarie

Are honeycomb blinds right for your home?

Look at a honeycomb blind side-on and you see rows of hexagonal cells. Those cells hold a layer of air between the room and the glass, which slows heat moving through the window in both directions. It is a similar idea to double glazing, applied with fabric, and it is why honeycomb blinds are the thermal pick of the blind range. The result is a room that holds its temperature for longer.

They come in light filtering and blockout options across a wide selection of colours. Light filtering honeycomb gives a soft, even glow and daytime privacy, while blockout suits bedrooms and nurseries. The fabric is lightweight, so the blinds are easy to raise and lower, and when raised the pleats compress into a slim stack at the top of the window.

Honeycomb blinds are worth considering on west-facing windows that heat up in summer and on cold south-facing rooms in winter. Compared with a blockout roller blind, a honeycomb blind insulates better but has a softer, pleated look. Compared with curtains, it gives a thermal benefit in a more compact, tailored form that sits within the window. They are also a good match for bedrooms that need to stay dark and comfortable through summer nights.
