What are cellular blinds?
Cellular blinds, also known as Duette and honeycomb blinds, are a popular window treatment choice praised for their energy efficiency, light control, and versatile style. Their unique design, resembling a honeycomb or cellular structure, is what sets them apart from other blinds.
How They Work
The defining feature of cellular duette blinds is their honeycomb shaped fabric that forms distinct honeycomb-shaped cells. These cells trap air, creating a layer of insulation at the window. This insulation helps to keep rooms warmer in the winter by reducing heat loss and cooler in the summer by blocking heat gain. They also have the benefit of reducing noise levels through windows.
Benefits of Cellular Blinds
- Energy Efficiency: This is the primary draw. By improving insulation, they can help lower energy bills.
- Light Control: Cellular blinds are available in a range of opacities, from sheer to blackout, allowing you to control the amount of light entering a room. They can filter light to reduce glare while still maintaining a view.
- Privacy: Depending on the fabric choice, cellular blinds can provide varying levels of privacy, from softly diffused to completely opaque.
- Versatility: They work well in a variety of rooms, from bedrooms and living areas to kitchens and bathrooms. They can be mounted inside or outside the window frame.
- Compact Stacking: When raised, cellular blinds stack neatly and compactly, minimizing their obstruction of the window view.
- Variety of Styles and Options: They come in various styles, including 'top down bottom up' and 'day and night' configurations. They are also available with cordless, child safe chain or motorised lift systems for added convenience and child safety. They can also be fitted into systems such as Perfect Fit for no-drill fitting into your windows.
Considerations
- Cost: Cellular blinds can be more expensive than some other types of window treatments.
- Cleaning: While generally easy to maintain, cleaning cellular blinds can sometimes be a bit more involved than simply wiping down slats. Dusting or light vacuuming is usually sufficient.
- Fabric Choice: The type of fabric you choose will impact the level of light control, privacy, and insulation. Consider your specific needs when selecting a fabric.
Overall
Cellular blinds are a practical and stylish window treatment option, especially if energy efficiency is a priority. Their ability to regulate temperature and light makes them a valuable addition to any home. While they may have a higher initial cost, the long-term energy savings can make them a worthwhile investment.
