Description

Skylight Honeycomb Blinds — Room Darkening or Light Filtering

Overview

Honeycomb skylight blinds are designed for angled and flat roof windows, using the Smartfit Sloped tensioned system to hold the blind securely in place at any angle from 0° to 90°. With no cords or chains, they are a practical option for hard-to-reach skylights, sloped ceilings, conservatories, bedrooms, nurseries and upstairs living areas.

Available in both light-filtering and room-darkening fabrics, these blinds help control glare, reduce heat gain in summer and improve insulation against heat loss in winter. The 25mm honeycomb cells create an insulating air pocket, while the choice of fabric lets you match the blind to the room’s purpose.

Choose Your Fabric Option

Light filtering: A translucent fabric that softens incoming sunlight while still allowing natural light into the room. This option is ideal for living areas, conservatories, kitchens and spaces where glare control and insulation are more important than blocking light.

Room darkening: A mylar-coated fabric designed to block the majority of incoming light. This option is suited to bedrooms, nurseries, media rooms and upstairs spaces where stronger light control, privacy and heat protection are needed..

Measuring & Installing Guides

Have a question about Honeycomb Blinds?

Yes. Room-darkening skylight honeycomb blinds use a mylar blackout coating to block the majority of incoming light. With a 6mm factory clearance on each side, some minimal light bleed occurs at the edges, but these are the darkest option available for skylights.

Yes. Skylights are a significant source of heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. Honeycomb skylight blinds trap an insulating air pocket at the glass, reducing thermal transfer. The room-darkening version with mylar coating provides the highest thermal efficiency.

The bottom rail slides up and down on tension wires. For skylights within reach, adjust by hand. For higher skylights, an optional high-access pole lets you raise and lower the blind from floor level.

Honeycomb Blinds, also known as Thermacell,  are an attractive cellular blind that are renowned for their insulation properties. They can increase the thermal insulation of your window by up to 3 times that of a normal curtain. Our most popular is the Room Darkening Fabric – this is great for darkening and warming the bedrooms or older single glazed homes.

Other Honeycomb options include corded (the most cost effective option),  cordless (SmartRise) perfect for those with young children and  top down bottom up SmartRise (the ultimate) are all very popular.

High Access Pole

This pole is available to assist with lifting and lowering the blind when it is out of reach for operation by hand. It is used for either SmartFit Sloped, SmartFit Standard or Smartrise.
It is an 1200mm extendable pole with a maximum extended length of 3 metres.
The head of the pole can be rotated to ensure it can be slipped on to the handle of the SmartFit or Smartrise blind
without pulling the handle to an angle where it alters the angle of rail in relation to the side wires on the blind.
The universal pole is suitable, and able to be used, on all blinds supplied with the clear PVC handles.
