Get Blinds QuotesHow Cellular Blinds Are Built
- Single cell. One row of pockets. Lighter and slimmer.
- Double cell. Two rows. More insulation, deeper stack.
- Fabric. Light-filtering or blockout.
- Operation. Cordless, cord, top-down bottom-up or motorised.
Insulation: What to Expect
Honeycomb blinds usually insulate better than single-layer blinds, but the effect depends on the cell size, fit and how well the edges seal. Ask for the product specification rather than relying on general claims.
Light-Control Options
| Option | Result |
|---|---|
| Light-filtering | Soft light, daytime privacy |
| Blockout | Much darker room, some edge light |
| Top-down bottom-up | Privacy at the bottom, light at the top |
Where Honeycomb Blinds Suit
- Bedrooms and lounges with large glass areas.
- Skylights and awkward shapes, with specialist systems.
- Rooms that are cold in winter or hot in summer.
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Insulating air pockets | Among the more expensive options |

Ballpark figures, not quotations. Indicative 2026 ranges, rounded, from published South African blinds price guides and Cape Town supplier price pages, checked September 2026. Per-blind figures are mostly supply prices for a window of about 1.2m x 1.5m, and fitting is often extra. Some sources include VAT and some do not, so confirm VAT on every quote. A measure and a written quote set the actual price. See Blinds Prices Cape Town for how these figures were compiled.
What Changes the Price
- Single or double cell, and fabric.
- Operation: cordless, top-down bottom-up or motor.
- Size and shape of the window.
Measuring, Quoting and Fitting
- Measure. The supplier measures each window, checks the frame or wall, and notes obstructions such as handles, burglar bars and cornices.
- Quote. You get a written quote per blind: product, fabric or slat, size, control, fitting and VAT.
- Order. Blinds are made to measure after you accept and pay any deposit. Ask for the lead time in writing.
- Fit. Brackets are fixed, the blinds hung, levelled and tested, and the controls explained.
Cape Town Considerations
- Winter. Useful on large windows in rooms that lose heat at night.
- Summer. Helps on west-facing glass that heats up in the afternoon.
