Where Honeycomb Blinds Work Best

Honeycomb blinds are particularly well suited to:

  • Street-facing windows – top-down options for privacy without losing light

Helpful Things to Know About Honeycomb Blinds

Honeycomb blinds are one of the most effective options for improving insulation and comfort, but there are a few things worth keeping in mind when choosing the right setup for your space.


Insulation vs Cost

Honeycomb blinds typically cost more than other blind types due to their unique cellular construction and improved insulation performance.


A Softer, Fabric-Based Look

Compared to roller blinds, honeycomb blinds have a softer fabric appearance that suits many interiors and helps create a warmer feel within the space.


Stack Height

When fully open, honeycomb blinds stack neatly at the top of the window. On smaller windows, this may cover a small portion of the glass.


Customisation Options

Every honeycomb blind is made-to-measure, with options to suit your space and style:


  • Cell Size - Choose between small or large cells for insulation and appearance.
  • Cell Type - Single or dual cell for maximum thermal efficiency.
  • Fabric Opacity - Light-filtering or blackout.
  • Colour Range - A wide palette of neutrals, modern tones, and patterned designs.
  • Side Channels - On some honeycomb blinds, you can add side channels which remove the lights gaps and increase darkness in the room
  • Operating Styles - Standard cord, cordless, top-down/bottom-up, or motorised.
  • Hardware Finishes - Rails and components available in colours to match your décor.


Motorised Honeycomb Blinds

Fabric & Cell Options

Honeycomb blinds are available in different cell sizes and constructions, which affect both appearance and performance.


  • Single cell – a clean, minimal look with good insulation
  • Double cell – enhanced insulation for improved thermal performance
  • Cell sizes (e.g. 25mm, 38mm) – larger cells can provide slightly better insulation and a more defined look

Honeycomb Blind FAQs

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.
