Wanting to improve your home’s energy efficiency? Don’t forget your windows!
Wall, floor or roof insulation might be the first thing that comes to mind if you’re considering the best ways to improve the energy efficiency of your home. But, what’s on your windows also matters.
While you could invest in double glazing and Low E film, the good news is it could be much easier (and more affordable) to prevent thermal heat loss through your windows. Our beehive window blind range might be your perfect solution.
Beehive blinds keep you warmer in winter and cooler in summer
Often known as ‘honeycomb’ blinds, that distinctive shape prevents heat loss through your windows making them an ideal window covering choice. Along with improving the energy efficiency of your home, our beehive blinds are also beautiful to look at. They work in complement with your existing home heating and cooling systems to keep you warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Better still, the extensive range of colours, fabrics and configurations ensures you can choose the perfect combination for your home.
4 more reasons why you’ll love beehive blinds
- Heat loss prevention – Honeycomb blinds are an efficient window covering to help reduce heat loss during winter.
- Versatility – Lower them from the top or raise them from the bottom, ensuring you can enjoy natural light and privacy at the same time.
- Easy to use and safe – The cordless option gives you peace-of-mind by eliminating traditional cords which can be a potential hazard around kids and pets.
- Elegant design – When fully drawn, beehive window blinds take up little headroom in your window or door. That slim profile design will make the most of those views out your window.
Find your perfect window blind fabric
Our extensive range of top-quality fabrics means it’s easy to find the ideal choice for your interior décor.
You can also select between sheer, light filtering or blockout fabric:
- Sheer – Just like a sheer curtain, this type of honeycomb blind fabric allows you to enjoy the views outside even when lowered, while regulating the temperature inside your home.
- Light filtering – These fabrics create a gentle glow in the room by diffusing natural light, without sacrificing your privacy.
- Blockout – Honeycomb blinds can be installed snugly into your window frame to ensure there are minimal light gaps. The fabric also has a metallised lining to screen out any light, making them ideal for light sleepers or within your media room.
Choose you perfect window blind configuration
- Bottom up – These operate like a traditional blind where you draw the shades up or down to regulate the light in the room.
- Day and night blind – The clever combination brings together the best of sheer and blockout fabrics in one blind. You can control the light in different conditions, while keeping your privacy at the same time.
- Skylight blind – Yes, we can make a beehive thermally insulated skylight blind! You can even select from light filtering or blockout fabrics.
- Top down and bottom up – This option gives you the ultimate flexibility in controlling your privacy and the incoming light. You can lift from the bottom as you would a traditional blind, or you can lower them from the top to let sunlight in from above while maintaining your privacy.
Lower and lift them with a blind cord – or opt for cordless? You decide!
- Cord control – We can place the drawcord on either the left or right-hand side of your beehive blind.
- Cordless system – If you want to rest easy, select the cordless option. This sees you easily adjust the blind by moving its handle.
