The Amazing Benefits of Honeycomb Cellular Blinds

When it comes to choosing a window treatment that’s perfect for your home, there are some important factors that come to mind: style, privacy, light control and insulation. Unfortunately, rarely does a window treatment manage to meet all these requirements. However, cellular blinds are no ordinary window treatment. Inspired by the same structure that makes bees’ homes so functional, cellular, or also called honeycomb, blinds can significantly improve the functionality of your home as well. Here are just some of the benefits that these blinds can offer.

Amazing Insulating Properties

Glass windows are not exactly known as the best insulators, and failing to cover them properly can result in increased electricity costs due to your AC being on most of the time. But honeycomb cellular blinds are designed so that they trap air within their internal structure, which helps prevent the hot air from entering the room in the summer and retains heat in your home in the winter. Of course, different cellular blinds offer different degrees of insulation. In general, cellular blinds are available in single, double, or triple cell options. More cells mean greater insulation, so if you’re an energy conscious homeowner, you may consider getting triple celled blinds made of blockout materials.

Different Degrees of Light Control

Lighter colours and sheer fabrics allow some light to gently filter through the room, giving it a fresh and airy feel. On the other hand, darker colours and opaque materials are ideal if you want the complete blockout effect. Consider the direction the room is facing in order to decide just how much light control you need.

Super Adjustable

With most types of blinds you can either get privacy or light – never both. However, cellular blinds come with a versatile top-down/bottom-up feature that allows you to get the best of both worlds at the same time. This way, you can operate honeycombs as regular shades by raising the bottom, or you can lower them (top down) and maintain your privacy while allowing some light to stream through from the top portion of the window. This is a great option for spaces where privacy is of great concern, such as bedrooms, bathrooms, and rooms facing the front of the house.

Stylish

Unlike hard window treatments which are made of aluminium and wood, honeycomb cellular blinds are made of soft paper-like or fabric materials which makes them an elegant addition to every interior. And when it comes to colours and texture options, honeycombs are no short on options to choose from. You can stick to timeless and neutral colours like white, beige, or grey, or experiment with a bolder palette. Whatever your interior style is, you can find honeycomb blinds to perfectly match it.
