Honeycomb Cell Structure
The cell structure of the honeycomb blind makes it effective to be thermally insulating. Honeycomb shaped cells are formed between layers of fabric trapping pockets of air.
​
With air being a poor conductor of heat the thermal and insulating qualities of the honeycomb blinds far exceed that of any single fabric layered blind.
​
There are a number of cell otions from single cell to double cell, small cell through to extra-large, designed to suit your personal needs.
Insulation & Energy Savings
The cellular design of Portrait honeycomb blinds creates air pockets that act as an insulator all year round.
​
Honeycomb blinds keep the heat out as the sun heats up the glass in summertime and conversely in winter the air pockets create an insulating barrier for heat lost through windows, sliding doors and skylights.
​
Honeycomb blinds will improve window efficiency, trapping the air in their cellular pockets and acting like a double–glazed window. Honeycombs are super-efficient blinds saving on energy bills because of their insulating qualities.
​
Utilising unique construction and advanced materials, Portrait Honeycomb Blinds are made to provide superior insulation.

​
Windows represent gateways through which surprising amounts of energy for heating and cooling the room can be lost. The pockets of our unique cellular fabrics create a layer of insulation, for substantial energy savings and protection against energy loss.

Fabric Customisation
​
Honeycomb blind fabrics are available with blockout, light filtering and sheer fabrics or a combination of fabric options so as best to suit your individual needs. For example, Day/Night Honeycomb blind is a combination of sheer and blockout fabrics that offers you maximun flexibility.
​
All honeycomb blinds are offerd with a white backing on the window side of the blind so as to improve solar energy reflection.
​
In general, blockout fabric provides better thermal insulation than a light filtering fabric which in turn is better than a sheer fabric.
​
Double-celled honeycombs allow for better insulation properties again.
