Cold winters and heat loss through glass
Heated rooms lose warmth through large panes. Close honeycomb at dusk so cells hold room-side heat against cold glass.

Why Honeycomb Blinds Suit Melbourne's Weather
Original local copy, not a paste of the product-science hub. Insulation at the glass for four seasons.
Hot north-wind days and west-facing rooms
Afternoon sun on north and west glass cooks interiors. Keep blinds down before the sun hits; blockout fabrics help hardest rooms.
25 mm or 38 mm cells: which suits your windows?
Both trap air. 25 mm suits most standard windows; 38 mm’s deeper pleat suits larger panes and sliders. Double-cell is available when you want an extra air layer; see the honeycomb hub for cell mechanics.

Honeycomb Blinds for Every Type of Melbourne Home
From terrace bays to growth-corridor glass, fitted to the architecture you actually have.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces
Tall sash and bay windows need made-to-measure drops. Top-down bottom-up keeps street privacy with daylight from above.
Inner-city apartments and townhouses
Slim stack and compact headrail suit shallow recesses and shared walls where every millimetre of recess counts.
New builds in growth suburbs
Wide glazing and open plans benefit from light-filter living rooms and blockout bedrooms on the same product family.
Extensions and raked windows
Slant honeycomb (25 mm cells) covers angled glass up to about 3,000 × 4,000 mm: chain or motorised.
Victoria energy rules
Meeting Victoria's Energy Rules with Honeycomb Blinds
Honeycomb blinds improve comfort by slowing heat through glass, but they do not change a NatHERS rating. Ratings are about the building fabric; blinds are a fit-out that help day-to-day heating and cooling loads. We are honest about that, and still recommend honeycomb where insulation at the window matters. More tips: how to reduce heat through windows.
Popular choices
Honeycomb Options Melbourne Homeowners Choose Most
Blockout for bedrooms and nurseries
Darker sleep on hot nights and winter mornings. Pair with sealed blackout blinds only when you need near-total edge seal.
Light filter and day/night for living areas
Soft daylight by day; flip to blockout at night without a second blind.
Chain and motorised operation
Motorised means no chain at the window: quieter for apartments and safer for kids. Chain clutch also available. See motorised blinds.

Off-the-shelf
Fixed sizes leave side gaps that leak heat and light: fine for a spare room, weak for Melbourne winters.

Local answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Winters, hot days, cell size, period homes, cost, showroom and recess depth.
Are honeycomb blinds good for Melbourne winters?
Yes. The cells trap a layer of air against the glass, which slows heat escaping from heated rooms. Close them at dusk and keep the fit tight inside the recess for the best result.
Do honeycomb blinds keep a house cool on hot Melbourne days?
Yes. Closed during the day, they cut heat coming through north- and west-facing glass. Blockout fabrics work best for rooms that cop afternoon sun.
Which cell size is better in Melbourne: 25 mm or 38 mm?
Both cell sizes trap air at the glass. The 25 mm cell suits most standard windows. The 38 mm cell gives a deeper pleat that suits larger windows and sliders. Double-cell is also available when you want an extra air layer.
Can honeycomb blinds fit tall windows in period homes?
Yes. Each blind is made to measure, up to about 3 metres drop, including tall sash and bay windows. Top-down bottom-up operation gives street privacy while letting light in from above.
How much do honeycomb blinds cost in Melbourne?
Price depends on window size, cell size, style, fabric and whether you choose a motor. Your free in-home measure includes a written, itemised quote for every window, and quotes from floor plans save 20%.
Can I see honeycomb blinds before I buy?
Yes. Visit our Thomastown showroom at 44 Latitude Boulevard, open Monday to Saturday, 9am to 4pm, or book a free in-home measure and we bring samples to you.
Which Melbourne suburbs do you install in?
We install across metro Melbourne, Geelong and the Surf Coast, and the Mornington Peninsula, including Brighton, Kew, Camberwell, Glen Waverley and Doncaster. See our locations page for more.
How much recess depth do honeycomb blinds need?
About 70 mm to fit inside the recess, as the headrail is 38 mm high. If your recess is shallower, the blind can be fitted outside it. Your consultant checks the depth of every window at the measure.
