Honeycomb Blinds – Functional and Stylish

If you have ever seen the insides of a bee-hive then you’ll know what honeycombs look like. Honeycomb blinds, more commonly known as honeycomb shades or cellular blinds, are made up of cell-like features. Depending on the type of fabric and design that makes up a particular honeycomb blind, it can work to diffuse incoming sunlight or block out 99% of the sun’s rays. All honeycomb blinds share one thing in common, thermal insulation properties of honeycomb designs. Pockets of air trapped in between the fabrics provide an insulating effect that brings warmth during the cold winter nights and cooling comfort in the summer. Cell constructions are in single, double or triple arrangements. Additionally, cell widths are in the ranges of one, one-fourth, three-eighth, three-fourth and half an inch wide. All of these different combinations of designs contribute to providing maximum energy efficiency, privacy and light control within the home.

Home Decorators Collection produces its own honeycomb blind platform with the sweet brand name of Laurel. Apart from the usual honeycomb blinds, shades with room darkening and blackout effects are also available. The Laurel Room Darkening honeycomb blind has been claimed to be able to block 97% of the sun’s rays with its double cell design. These blinds come in 10 different colors of varying tones, all aimed to deliver a soothing effect to the home interior.

Offering greater privacy, the Laurel Blackout honeycomb blind is designed with a neutral background allowing the piece to look crispy from the outside whilst protecting the insides. Finally, Hunter Douglas, a big name in blinds and shades, can be accredited for the creation of the honeycomb shades. Its own collection of honeycomb blinds is spell-binding with a variety of blinds with varying degrees of opacity, cell widths and functions. Shoppers can pick from its many selections which include honeymoon blinds platforms such as Applause Legends, Affinity and Duette.
