With honeycomb blinds still being relatively new to the market, it is understandable that many homeowners wonder about the advantages and disadvantages of owning them. Fortunately, the benefits of these blinds tend to far outweigh the shortcomings in most cases. It is important to remember, however, that what works for one home may be unsuitable for another. In this article, we have outlined some of the main pros and cons.
Advantages
1. Feel the Temperature Change
One of the best things about these blinds is that they can keep you warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. When hot or cold air tries to pass through the material, it gets trapped in the cells. This keeps your home more comfortable, as well as helping you to save money on energy bills (there is less need for air conditioning and heating). You just have to ensure that they are installed correctly.
2. Available in Various Cord Options
There are a number of weighs to operate honeycomb blinds, ensuring that you can find the perfect match for your home. The cordless type can be lifted and lowered by hand; wherever you let go of the panel, that’s where it will stay. The motorised type can be operated at the push of a button, ensuring effortless operation. The breakaway type is completely childproof; the cord will snap if force is applied.
3. Ensure the Privacy of Your Home
If you live on a busy street or your home is situated quite close to your neighbour’s, your privacy is paramount. The good thing about these blinds is that they aren’t transparent in the slightest, so no one will be able to see through them. They are also available in a top down/bottom up type, which enables the top half to be opened (for plenty of natural sunlight penetration) whilst the bottom half is left closed.
Disadvantages
1. Harder to Keep Clean
Some people find these blinds difficult to keep clean, as the cells attract all matter of dirt and dust. Whilst this is certainly true, if you manage to keep on top of the debris in your home it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. All you need to do is vacuum them once a week (more regularly if your home is quite dusty). We also recommend giving them a deep cleaning once a year to ensure the dust has been removed.
2. Less Fabric and Colour Choices
Some people have also found that there are less fabric and colour choices available for honeycomb blinds than there are for other types. This is because some fabric types are unsuitable for the creation of cells. Whilst it is possible to have these coverings custom made, you might still find that the choice of colour and fabric is lacking. There is still a large enough variety available, however, that you will find a match.
We have only scraped the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the advantages and disadvantages of using honeycomb blinds in Melbourne for your home. But, as you can see, the benefits far outweigh the shortcomings. At the end of the day, it is important that you have determined whether these blinds are the right choice for your home or not. Just ensure that you have chosen the right supplier and that you have properly measured up your windows.
