Features & benefits
Cell size
Our honeycombs come in three different cell sizes: 10mm cell blinds are compact and suit small windows while the 20mm cell honeycomb blinds are available in more operating systems to suit your needs. For the greatest heat-saving benefits, choose our Double cell blinds with side-by-side pockets of air.
Directionality
Bottom-up lifting is the traditional operation where the bottom of the blind is raised and lowered. But with honeycomb blinds, you have more options! Top-down blinds are fixed at the bottom of the window so you can cover the lower half for privacy and let light in the top. Or choose the versatility of both and have your blind covering the middle portion of the window.
Operating systems
Choose from standard cord operation; cordless, which operates by simply moving the bottom bar to position the blind; or the clutch system, which minimises the amount of cord (good for large blinds). We also offer motorised operation and a day/night option (for privacy at any time) controlled by one centre rail.
Inside or outside mount
Fitting your blinds inside the window frame is recommended for optimal insulation and offers the cleanest look, but your window recess needs to be deep enough. Fitting the blind outside and just above the frame is practical and flexible, suiting just about any window.

Frequently asked questions
Honeycomb blinds are worth considering for their energy efficiency and sleek design. They offer insulation benefits that can help reduce heating and cooling costs over time. They also come in a fantastic colour range to blend with any décor.
Honeycomb blinds offer excellent insulation, are sleek in appearance as they are generally fitted inside the window frame and can be pulled up to give unrestricted views. They offer a tighter fit in the window frame so generally there is less light bleed around the edges.
Honeycomb blinds and cellular blinds are actually the same thing—just different names for the same style. They are characterised by their honeycomb-shaped cells that trap air for insulation.
Honeycomb blinds can provide privacy during the day, but at night, with lights on inside, visibility from outside may be possible. However, by choosing the blockout option you can have complete privacy.
The lifespan of honeycomb blinds can vary depending on factors like usage and quality of materials. On average, you can expect them to last around 10 years with proper care and maintenance.
