Trapped air, real insulation
The blind that does more than block light
A cellular blind's fabric folds into hexagonal cells in profile — the honeycomb — and those trapped air pockets form a soft thermal buffer on the glass. That matters in a lot of Lynnwood's original homes, where single-glazed steel-frame windows lose real heat on a frosty winter morning and let a west-facing room bake through a highveld summer afternoon. Single cells suit milder rooms; double cells do the serious thermal work, and dampen outside noise a little too.
Blockout cell fabrics give a bedroom or nursery genuine darkness alongside the thermal benefit — useful for early school mornings or a baby's daytime nap in a room that would otherwise catch full afternoon glare. Top-down/bottom-up operation is a particularly good fit for street-facing rooms in the older, closer-set parts of the suburb: privacy at the bottom of the window, sky and light still coming in at the top.
Cordless and motorised operation are both available, and the cell structure holds its shape even on skylight and shaped-window versions — see our skylight & shaped blinds option if that's the window in question. We keep the claims here qualitative and honest: a genuine comfort and load difference, not an invented percentage.
What a honeycomb works out at
A square metre of cellular blind, hung: R1,500 through to R2,800 corded or cordless. A single cell in a plain light-filtering fabric sits low; a double cell, or a cell lined for blockout, sits high, and that is where the thermal work actually happens. Motorised, the same square metre is R3,000 through to R4,800 — the band for a top-down bottom-up bedroom blind, or a high landing window.
Small windows price to a floor, because the headrail, the brackets and the hours on site barely change. The rates are for planning; your own numbers follow the measure, written down before production starts.
