A Guide to Honeycomb Blinds

 

Honeycomb blinds have been around for over thirty years, but some homeowners are just catching on. If you’re one of the late learners – no problem! Perhaps you’ve already learned about the benefits of these blinds but just haven’t gotten around to installing them in your home yet. The more you learn about honeycomb blinds, however, the more you’ll want them.

 

What are honeycomb blinds?

 

Honey comb blinds are made up of a cellular structure that resembles a honeycomb. They’re also called “cellular” blinds because of this unique structure. Inside each cell, air is trapped. What does that mean for you? It means that these blinds provide great insulation.

 

Windows are notorious for allowing in cold air in the winter and hot air in the summer. You also lose a lot of cool air through windows in the summer – air that your central heat and air conditioning is working hard to produce. The opposite happens in the winter. Warm air escapes through windows. Honeycomb blinds can help with this problem and have a hefty impact on your energy bills.

 

Honeycomb blinds are super easy to install. With each set, you’ll receive do-it-yourself instructions that are simple to follow. All you’ll need are a drill, a screwdriver, and a measuring tape, and in just a short while, your room will have a brand new look. And you’ll begin saving on those high energy bills.

 

Types of honeycomb blinds

 

Honeycomb blinds are available in several different types. These include cordless, motorized, room darkening, and light filtering. They also come in several different styles, fabrics, and colors.

 

Cordless honeycomb blinds are a great choice for homes with small children or pets. Dangling cords from window blinds have been the cause of numerous deaths by strangulation. With cordless blinds, there’s no cord to cause problems. Motorized honeycomb blinds are also available. With these, your blinds raise, lower, and tilt with just a press of a button. If you have the remote-control type, you won’t even have to leave your comfy seat to adjust your blinds.

 

Room darkening honeycomb blinds, also called blackout blinds, are covered with a special material that blocks out light. These are great for a baby’s room or for any bedroom. Not only do these blinds provide a dark, inviting place to sleep, they also provide superior privacy.

 

If you don’t want to completely block out light but don’t want glaring rays from the sun, either, the solution might be light-filtering honeycomb blinds. These allow in just enough sunshine to bathe your room in a soft glow.
