At Elite Shades, we supply and install custom honeycomb blinds throughout Christchurch and Waimakariri. With their unique cellular design, honeycomb blinds trap air to provide excellent insulation and year-round comfort. Available in a range of light-filtering and blackout fabrics, they offer a modern, energy-efficient solution tailored to your home or business.
Honeycomb blinds, also known as cellular blinds, are a stylish and energy-efficient window covering option. Their unique structure - made up of honeycomb-shaped cells - traps air, creating an insulating layer that helps keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This makes them one of the best blinds for energy savings while still offering a sleek, modern look.
Honeycomb blinds are also lightweight, durable, and highly versatile, making them suitable for almost any room in the home or office.
Light-filtering honeycomb blinds gently diffuse natural light to create a soft, warm glow while maintaining privacy. They’re perfect for living rooms, kitchens, and open-plan areas where you want light without harsh glare. The cellular design helps insulate your windows, keeping your home comfortable and energy-efficient year-round - ideal for Christchurch’s cooler winters and sunny summers.
Blackout honeycomb blinds feature a light-blocking fabric that eliminates outside light for maximum privacy and darkness. They’re ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms, or for anyone sensitive to light while sleeping. The insulating honeycomb structure also helps regulate indoor temperature, reducing heat loss during cold South Island winters, and heat gain from the summer sun.
Top-down/bottom-up honeycomb blinds offer ultimate flexibility in light and privacy control. They can be lowered from the top or raised from the bottom, allowing you to let natural light in while maintaining privacy at eye level. This style is ideal for street-facing windows, bathrooms, or multi-storey homes where adaptable privacy is important, or where you want privacy without losing a distant view.
Day/night honeycomb blinds combine two fabrics - typically a light-filtering and a blackout material - in one blind for total versatility. You can enjoy soft, filtered light during the day and switch to full blockout coverage at night. Perfect for bedrooms, living areas, and home offices, day/night honeycomb blinds provide the benefits of two blinds in one sleek, space-saving design. The whole blind can also stack up at the top, out of the way.

Yes. Honeycomb blinds are one of the most energy-efficient window coverings available. Their cellular design traps air inside the fabric cells, creating a thermal barrier that helps keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
That depends on the fabric you choose. Light filtering honeycomb blinds gently diffuse daylight, while blackout fabrics are designed to darken a room completely - perfect for bedrooms and media rooms. Standard honeycomb blinds have smaller gaps at the edges between the fabric and window frames, when compared to other blind types. If you opt to include side channels too, then these side light gaps are removed altogether.
Honeycomb blinds have a cellular structure that provides superior insulation and sound absorption. Roller blinds, on the other hand, are a single sheet of fabric that rolls up neatly, offering a sleek and simple design. Both are great options, but honeycomb blinds are ideal if energy efficiency and noise reduction are priorities.
Yes. Honeycomb blinds can be upgraded with motorisation for remote control. Motorised blinds are cordless, safe for children and pets, and convenient for large or hard-to-reach windows.
Absolutely. Honeycomb blinds are lightweight yet strong, and available in wider spans. Larger cell sizes (such as 38mm) are especially well-suited to big windows while maintaining insulation benefits.
Honeycomb blinds are low-maintenance. Regular light dusting or using a vacuum with a brush attachment keeps them looking fresh. You can also use a can of compressed air from the side of the blind to blow out any small debris that may be trapped in the cells. For deeper cleaning, spot-clean gently with a damp cloth.
We supply honeycomb blinds to all of Christchurch and the Waimakariri District. We also make exceptions on a case by case basis, so reach out today to see if we can help.
