Trapped air is insulation. The pleated hexagonal cell is the best-insulating interior blind made — a real thermal buffer on new-estate glass, in both directions.
Single cells suit mild rooms; double cells do the serious thermal work — cooler summer rooms, warmer winter ones, and quieter too, since the cells absorb sound as well as heat. We keep the claims qualitative — genuine comfort and a lower heating/cooling load — rather than promising a specific percentage saving nobody can verify on your particular home.
It's the answer to the room above a Ruimsig double garage that's always the hottest or coldest in the house, and to any new-build bedroom facing a full wall of west glass.
02Cellular blinds can be operated top-down/bottom-up — privacy at the bottom, light and sky still coming in at the top. It's the right answer for street-facing new-estate windows and for any room overlooked by a neighbour's second storey.
03Light-filtering or blockout cell fabrics; blockout cells give bedrooms genuine darkness with the thermal bonus built in. Skylight and shaped-window versions exist too — the cell structure holds its shape even on an angle, which makes it one of the few honest options for gable glazing above double-volume entrance halls.
Mid-to-premium; double-cell and top-down/bottom-up options sit at the upper end. It earns its place on rooms with a real heating or cooling bill, not on every window in the house.
The room above the garage or a full west wall of glass runs hot or cold almost anywhere on this side of the West Rand — here's where the insulating cell earns its keep most often.
