The problem
Does your room change temperature with the weather?
Beautiful big windows can also be one of the hardest parts of a room to manage. Maybe yours sounds familiar:
Too hot in the afternoon?Your west-facing living room heats up every afternoon
and takes hours to cool down.
Heating or cooling running constantly?The system is working - but the room still
struggles to hold a comfortable temperature.
Cold around the windows in winter?You can feel the temperature change as soon as
you sit near the glass.
A standard blind mainly covers the window. Honeycomb blinds add a layer of trapped air between the room and the glass, helping slow unwanted heat transfer.
How it works
The cell is the whole point.
Look at a honeycomb blind from the side and you'll see rows of small air pockets. Those pockets trap still air between your room and the window, creating an insulating layer that helps slow heat moving through the glass.

Best for
Honeycomb blinds make the biggest difference in rooms like these.

part of the house.

heat transfer.

Straight advice
Honeycomb or roller blind - which do you actually need?
If you mainly need privacy and light control, a roller blind can do the job for less.
But if the room also gets too hot, too cold or struggles to hold its temperature, honeycomb is usually the better product to consider. We'll tell you honestly which one suits each room.

Frequently asked questions
About honeycomb blinds
Yes. Their cellular design traps pockets of still air between the room and the glass, creating an insulating layer that helps reduce unwanted heat transfer through the window. Australian Government energy guidance specifically recommends honeycomb blinds among window-covering options for improving thermal performance.
They don't actively cool the room like an air conditioner. They help reduce unwanted heat transfer through the window, which can make the room easier to keep comfortable. For strong direct summer sun, external shading can also be important.
Translucent is ideal where you want privacy while still allowing soft daylight into the room. Blockout is better for bedrooms, nurseries and spaces where stronger light control matters.
Both use trapped air for insulation. Double-cell designs contain an additional layer of air pockets, so they may be better suited where thermal performance is the priority. We'll show you the options during your measure.
Options, pricing & service
Yes. A translucent honeycomb blind filters daylight while providing privacy. If available in the selected system, top-down/bottom-up operation can also let daylight enter from the top while covering the lower part of the window.
Yes. Motorised options are available, with control options depending on the selected system.
Yes, depending on the dimensions and selected system. Large glazed areas are actually one of the situations where thermal window coverings can be particularly valuable.
