What Are Honeycomb Window Blinds?
Honeycomb blinds get their name from their cell-like structure, which looks like a honeycomb when viewed from the side. They are also known as cellular blinds or shades. The cells trap air in their distinct pockets, which helps to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
There are two main types of honeycomb blinds – roman and roll-up. Roman shades operate like regular curtains and are attached to the window frame. Roll-up blinds are similar to Roman shades, with two notable differences – they do not attach to the window frame and they roll up instead of down.
Roman honeycomb blinds offer a more traditional look and can be attached to the window frame using brackets or hooks. They have an unobstructed view of the outside and are often used in living rooms and bedrooms. Roll-up honeycomb blinds offer some privacy but do not block light or views quite as well as Roman ones and usually require installation on a track inside your windowsill.
Roll-up blinds can be used to cover an entire window, making them ideal for bathrooms or kitchens. Since they do not attach to the window frame, they are more versatile than Roman shades.
Honeycomb blinds are available in a variety of colors and styles including French pleat, pin stack, and valance. You can choose from cordless honeycomb blinds that roll up automatically or traditional styles with strings that you pull up from the bottom.
They come in different widths, lengths, and weights so you can find one that fits your needs perfectly. For example, heavier fabrics offer better insulation during colder months while thinner fabrics provide better insulation during warmer months.
