Are Cellular Blinds worth it?
Yes! Cellular Blinds save up to 32%* MORE on your heating and cooling costs compared to a standard Roller Blind so if you value long term savings whilst also helping the environment this product is perfect for you.
How insulating are Cellular / Honeycomb blinds?
Cellular blinds are designed with a unique honeycomb cell shape that creates pockets of energy-saving insulation.
The cell construction traps air and makes it more difficult for heat energy to transfer in and out of the window, improving energy efficiency and reducing your heating and cooling costs in both winter and summer.

Are Cellular Blinds better at blocking light than Roller Blinds?
Yes! The headrail has been cleverly designed to ensure minimal light gaps with only a 5mm light gap at each end compared to a Roller Blind which has approximately 15mm light gaps at each end and no complete light seal at the top.
*Savings are based on the installation of fully-recessed, reveal-mounted 20mm single cell blockout fabric in an average home in Sydney, compared with the House Energy Rating standard of Roller Blinds from AccuRate, in that home. These calculations have been modelled by an independent third party. Savings will vary based on window type and installation.
Are Cellular Blinds easy to keep clean?
Cellular blinds, also known as honeycomb shades, are not particularly difficult to keep clean. Our cellular blinds are made from anti-static durable polyester that aids in the resistance of dust, however, like any window dressing, they can collect dust and dirt over time, which can make them appear dirty.
To clean cellular blinds, you can use a soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to gently remove any dust or debris that has accumulated on the surface of the shades. Alternatively, you can use a feather duster or a microfibre cloth to wipe them down. For deeper cleaning, you can use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to gently scrub the surface of the shades.
It’s important to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on cellular blinds, as these can damage the fabric and shorten the lifespan of the shades. Additionally, be careful not to crush or flatten the pleats of the shades while cleaning them, as this can affect their insulating properties.
If something does manage to sneak into one of the cells simply blow the inside with a hair dryer set on cool. Easy!
Overall, with proper care and maintenance, cellular blinds are a durable and attractive window treatment that is easy to keep clean.
