Honeycomb Blinds
A honeycomb blind — also called a cellular shade — is pleated into rows of hexagonal cells that trap a layer of still air against the glass. That trapped air is the whole idea: it slows the heat coming through a sunlit window, which in a Dhaka summer means an air conditioner that cycles less often to hold the same room temperature.
The fabric is soft and paper-like and folds into a very small stack, so it suits a shallow reveal where a roman blind would not fit. Light-filtering cells give an even glow with no hard edges; blackout cells take an aluminised liner and still fold to almost nothing. Double-cell fabric adds a second row of cells and a second pocket of air, which is what you want on a west-facing window that bakes from three o'clock onward.
Frequently asked questions
Does a honeycomb blind really reduce heat?
The mechanism is real: the cells hold a layer of still air against the glass, and still air is a poor conductor, so heat crosses the window more slowly. What that is worth depends on your window — a west-facing pane in full afternoon sun benefits far more than a shaded north window, and a double-cell fabric does more than a single. It is a genuine improvement in comfort and AC cycling, not a replacement for the AC.
Do I measure inside the window frame or outside it?
Both are valid, and they give different results. An inside (reveal) mount looks tidier and keeps the sill usable, but a little light always escapes at the edges. An outside mount overlaps the frame by two to three inches on each side and is the only way to get a genuinely dark bedroom. Tell us which you want and measure accordingly — our /measure guide walks through both with the exact points to record.
Will the fabric fade in direct Dhaka sun?
Every fabric fades eventually under direct sun; the question is how fast and how evenly. Solution-dyed polyester and sunscreen mesh hold colour far better than printed cotton-look fabrics, and mid tones show fading less than deep navy or black. A west or south-west window is the harshest position in a Dhaka flat, so if that is where the blind goes, choose a lighter mid tone and expect the visible side to soften slightly over several years rather than patch unevenly.
How long does it take from order to installation?
Three days for a standard blind, five for a motorised one, counted from the day the order is confirmed to the day it is fitted. Those are working targets for stock fabric in Dhaka; a colour we have to bring in, or a very large made-to-order size, can add to them, and we tell you that when you order rather than afterwards.
