Made-to-Measure Cellular and Honeycomb Blinds
Standard-sized blinds often leave gaps around the window frame, which is exactly where heat, cold, light and noise sneak through. Honeycomb blinds (also called cellular blinds) are already one of the most thermally efficient window coverings available, thanks to their air-trapping cellular structure. A blind cut precisely to your window dimensions fits more snugly, reduces light gaps, and gets far more out of that thermal and acoustic performance than an off-the-shelf size ever could. With Spotlight’s made-to-measure cellular blinds service, your blinds are made to fit your window furnishings perfectly.
What Are Cellular or Honeycomb Blinds?
Custom cellular blinds feature a unique hexagonal or honeycomb design, making them one of the highest rated insulating and energy efficient blinds on the market. Air is trapped inside individual cells, ensuring your home is kept cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Cellular blinds, sometimes referred to as cellular shades or honeycomb blinds, also offer a snug fit inside your window recess to reduce the conduction of heat and minimise light gaps and UV sun exposure. The closer the blind fits the window frame, the better those air pockets perform as insulation. A snug custom fit amplifies everything the cellular structure is designed to do, making our made to measure cellular blinds a worthy investment.

Why a Perfect Fit Makes All the Difference
Custom-made cellular blinds are manufactured to the exact width and drop of each individual window, with side gaps as small as approximately 3mm. A precise fit brings about a number of improvements, including:
- Thermal performance - Less air escapes around the edges
- Light control - Less light bleeding at the sides
- Acoustic performance - A tighter seal absorbs more sound
- Appearance - A tighter fit ensures a cleaner, built-in look that you may find difficult to achieve with ready made blinds.
How Do You Customise Your Honeycomb Blinds?
Cellular blinds can be made to measure in a range of operating styles and configurations. With our custom-made service, you can choose the size of your cells, that is, single vs double cells. Single cell shades have one row or layer of cells that stack on top of each other and offer a clean, streamlined appearance to your window furnishings. Double cell blinds have two rows of smaller, slightly offset cells. With one row of cells sitting closer to the window and the other facing toward your room, they offer even better insulating properties than single-cell blinds. You can also choose from hand-drawn or cord-drawn operation, and configurations including top-down or bottom-up, depending on location and functional requirements.
Can Custom Honeycomb Blinds Fit Any Window?
Custom honeycomb blinds can be made to fit standard rectangular windows, large windows, skylights, arched windows, angled loft windows, and sliding doors via vertical honeycomb configurations. These blinds are particularly valuable for non-standard window shapes and sizes where off-the-shelf blinds simply will not work. Spotlight's in-home measure and quote service is especially useful for tricky or unusual windows.

How to Keep Your Honeycomb Blinds Looking Great
With cellular blinds, you can enjoy the benefits of minimal maintenance with simple and easy cleaning routines. Regular dusting with a lightweight feather duster will remove surface dust and prevent build-up. You can also use a hairdryer on a cool setting to gently blow away any dust or a soft brush applicator attachment with your regular vacuum cleaner. Due to the delicate nature of the fabric, it is advised that only a light damp cloth can be used on the more durable blockout fabrics. Avoid installing honeycomb blinds in consistently damp spaces such as bathrooms to prevent a build-up of mould and bacteria.
