Questions answered
Who is the best place to buy honeycomb blockout blinds online in South Africa?

Your honeycomb blockout blinds are made to your millimetre, checked before they are made and delivered free across South Africa, with our Custom Fit Guarantee.
Do honeycomb blinds really keep a room warmer or cooler?
They help. The cells trap a layer of air at the glass, which reduces heat moving through the window. They do not replace insulation in the walls or roof.
What is the best blind for a bedroom with a shallow window frame?
A honeycomb blockout blind: it folds into a slim stack and fits compact frames. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings, fitting blinds since 2010, suggests a face fix above the window where the frame is very shallow.
Who should not buy a honeycomb blockout blind?
Want light by day and darkness at night from one product? Choose a duo roller. Only need darkness on a budget? A blockout roller costs less.
What if I measure wrong?
Our team checks every order before it is made. If your blind arrives too big, we trim it free; too small, we remake it at a reduced price. Claim within 48 hours of delivery under the Custom Fit Guarantee.
How should I measure the opening for these blinds?
For a recess fit, measure three widths and three drops; give us the smallest width and the longest drop. We deduct 10 mm from the width only (10 mm in total). Do not deduct anything yourself. For a face fix, add 100 mm on each side and 100 mm above and below. No deduction applies. Read the measuring guide before ordering.
What's the best way to choose blinds for a whole house?
From a full sample book, not off-cuts. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings sends one on request with orders over R8,000. If nothing suits, you get a full refund with no fees.
The details
What is a honeycomb blockout blind?
- A pleated blind whose cross-section is a row of cells, like a honeycomb, in blockout fabric.
- Also called a cellular blind or cell shade. The cells trap air at the window, which helps reduce heat transfer.
- Available in 4 colours: Swan, Raven, Chocolate and Papyrus.
- Made to measure up to 2500mm wide, from R1,308 with free delivery.
Every order is checked by our team before it is made.
How do honeycomb blockout blinds work?
Two layers of fabric are joined into cells. The air inside each cell acts as an insulating layer between the glass and the room. The blockout fabric darkens the room, and the blind folds into a slim stack at the top when raised.
Honeycomb blockout blinds compared with blockout rollers
A blockout roller darkens a room for less. A honeycomb adds the insulating cells and folds into a slimmer stack, so it suits compact frames.
