Honeycomb Blinds
Honeycomb blinds are the workhorse of window treatments. They offer amazing benefits like privacy, insulation, and light filtering/blocking. One of the best features of honeycomb blinds is the insulation that they add to the window. During the summer, insulation can help reduce air conditioning bills, keep a home cooler and block the harsh rays of the sun.
In addition to that, honeycomb blinds or cellular shades offer great privacy. Unless you select a sheer fabric as its material, honeycomb shades are completely private. They come in a versatile top-down/bottom-up feature too. This allows the shade to either be lifted up or lowered down to the window sill.
Light control is also another benefit of honeycomb blinds. There are a variety of light control options – from semi-opaque light filtering fabrics to light-blocking opaque fabrics. This type of blind blocks out the most light. If complete darkness is what you want, these honeycomb shades are your best choice.
Benefits of honeycomb blinds also include:
- Light filtering abilities/Light blocking abilities
- Has superior insulation
- Can reduce noise
- Can reduce energy costs
- Has cordless options for child safety
- Top Down Bottom Up Options for light and privacy management
When looking for honeycomb cellular shades, one must consider the cell shapes. D-shaped cells are designed to hold the accordion shape better. Fabrics range from spun lace to point bond. Spun lace is a softer, heavier duty material than point bond. Spun lace is 40% more effective in insulating heat and cold than point bond. The more cells a honeycomb shade has the better insulation it will provide. A double cell shade will provide better insulation than a single cell shade.
Honeycomb blinds come in a lot of nice colors and they can be paired with Roman shades for a more dramatic look. If you’re thinking summer shades, but want to be sure to have quality insulating window treatments, then take a look at honeycomb cellular shades. You won’t regret it!
