Cellular Blinds Explained: Benefits, Energy Savings & Design Ideas
What are cellular blinds?
Deciding which blinds are best suited for your home can be a real headache. Some of the many factors to consider when choosing your blinds include:
- Heat trapping
- Light control
- Noise dampening
For us, here at Norwich Sunblinds, cellular blinds are one of the best ways of controlling daylight in your living and working areas. At the same time, they’re excellent for trapping in heat, helping you save on your energy bills.
In this guide, we’ll go over the benefits of having cellular blinds installed in your living room, kitchen, conservatory or any other room in your house.
How are cellular blinds designed?
Cellular blinds use a honeycomb design with small pockets of air that trap the heat and prevent it from escaping, keeping the house warmer in winter. At the same time, these pockets of air also help in keeping the home cooler in summer by blocking the heat from entering the home. This means that you can enjoy natural light without compromising on your comfort.
For example, you might want cellular blinds set up in your kitchen to enjoy sunny breakfasts in the summertime while keeping cool.

The Perfect Choice for your Kitchen
These blinds also reduce glare and filter daylight, which helps protect your furniture and other belongings from sun damage. By controlling the amount of light entering the room, you can prevent fading and other forms of sun damage.
These kinds of items can be particularly vulnerable to sun damage:
- Photos
- Leather items
- Wood & wood veneer
Investing in good quality cellular blinds not only keeps your furniture and other belongings in good condition but also reduces the need for replacements, saving you money in the long run.
Are cellular blinds good for cold weather?

The short answer? Yes!
The longer answer is that our cellular blinds use a honeycomb design to trap air. This air creates an insulating layer between your home and the cold outside and helps trap the heat inside during winter.
This means that you can reduce your dependence on heating and cooling systems, thereby saving on your energy bills. That’s great news considering the ever-rising cost of heating your home.
We have a wide variety of fashionable designs, colours and fabrics to choose from. Our blinds give you all the home heating benefits while fitting in with your interior style.
