Honeycomb Blockout Blinds — Made to Measure in South Africa
Custom Blinds honeycomb blockout blinds are made-to-order window coverings with a unique cellular structure that traps air for thermal insulation while blocking light completely. Each blind is custom manufactured in South Africa to your exact window measurements, with a typical production time of 7 to 10 working days and free nationwide delivery. Also known as cellular blinds, honeycomb blinds are the most energy-efficient window covering available.
Who Honeycomb Blockout Blinds Are For
Honeycomb blockout blinds suit energy-conscious homeowners, families wanting dark bedrooms, and anyone looking to reduce air conditioning or heating costs. They are ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, home offices, and media rooms. The insulating properties make them particularly valuable in areas with extreme temperatures — Gauteng summers, Cape Town winters, and Free State frost. They also suit eco-conscious homeowners who want to reduce their carbon footprint through better home insulation.
How They Work
Honeycomb blinds get their name from the hexagonal cell structure visible in the cross-section of the fabric. These cells trap a layer of still air between the window and the room, creating insulation similar to double glazing. In summer, the cells reflect heat away from the room. In winter, they prevent warm air from escaping through the glass. The blockout fabric provides complete light blocking. The blind operates on a simple pull cord or optional cordless mechanism.

Fabric and Colour Range
The honeycomb blockout range includes soft neutral tones like white, cream, grey, and sand, as well as contemporary colours. The fabric has a soft, modern texture that sits beautifully against the window. The cellular construction means the blind stacks compactly when raised, taking up minimal space at the top of the window.
Comparing Honeycomb Blockout to Other Blinds
Custom Blinds offers several light-blocking options. Honeycomb blockout blinds provide the best thermal insulation of any blind type — ideal for energy savings. Standard blockout roller blinds offer complete darkness at a lower price point. Duo roller blinds combine sheer and blockout in one mechanism for flexibility. Honeycomb duotone blinds offer the same insulation with adjustable sheer and blockout sections. Choose honeycomb blockout for the best combination of darkness and energy efficiency.
Installation
Standard installation uses two wall or ceiling brackets and takes approximately 15 minutes per window with a drill and spirit level. A step-by-step measuring guide is available at shop.customblinds.co.za to ensure accurate ordering. Garden Route customers in Knysna, George, Plettenberg Bay, Sedgefield, Mossel Bay, and Wilderness can book professional installation with Duncan Kane, the company founder.
