There are many different ways to cover your windows, with each option offering their own selling points. But when it comes to the people’s choice, cellular blinds remain the most popular for all the benefits they offer across the year, particularly for winter.
Cellular blinds or shades are the number one selling product in our range, ahead of wooden blinds, roller systems and sheer shades.
Why all the fuss about cellular shades?
So what sets these blinds ahead of the rest of the chasing pack? Well, for a start, they are unbeatable when it comes to insulation.
They are also referred to as honeycomb shades because of their design that includes fabric cells which traps air and creates a natural insulation barrier between the window and the room.
This is a critical feature when you consider that about 30 per cent of a home’s heating energy is lost through windows and that the average Australian electricity bill each year is almost $1800.
They are highly effective in both the summer and winter months, helping trap your air conditioning or heating, reducing the workload of your heating/cooling devices and driving down your energy costs – which is also great for the environment.
While a blind that includes air-filled cells may sound bulky, cellular blinds are actually extremely low profile so you don’t need a lot of depth in your window frame to fit them into.
And when these products are busy blocking out the heat or cold, they are also blocking out light so you can have the ultimate sense of privacy and also pitch black rooms for cinema-like movie sessions. They even make for a great daytime rest space for children or shift workers.
The fact they have twin layers flanking the cells means they are just as effective at blocking out light and prying eyes as wooden blinds. This insulation also blocks out noise which is perfect for homes that are exposed to heavy traffic on main roads while also allowing you to turn up your music and movies a few notches louder without attracting complaints from your neighbours.
Cellular shades are also highly versatile, with a range of colours and styles available and motorised options along with corded and cordless mechanisms to open and close them.
With all of these benefits, it is easy to see why cellular or honeycomb shades and blinds remain the consumers top choice over all other options year after year. They are affordable and ultimately pay for themselves through energy savings and you can match them with the rest of your decor with the vast range of colours and styles on offer.
