Cellular Blinds
Warmer in Winter, Cooler in Summer.
Elegant Light Control with Real Energy Benefits
Cellular blinds (often called honeycomb shades) use a clever hexagonal cell that traps air, adding a thermal barrier at your window. The result? Cosier rooms, reduced heat loss, whisper‑quiet light control and an elegant, contemporary look. Made to measure in Belfast and fitted by Apex Elite NI.
Elegant Light Control with Real Energy Benefits
If you’re looking for blinds that look refined and help keep your home comfortable all year, cellular (honeycomb) blinds are a brilliant choice. The clever honeycomb fabric traps air inside small cells, adding a thermal barrier at your window. The result? Cosier rooms in winter, cooler rooms in summer, whisper-quiet operation and a clean, contemporary finish. In this guide, we’ll cover how cellular blinds work, where they shine, and what to expect when you choose Apex Elite NI to design and fit your Louvolite cellular blinds.
For homeowners in Northern Ireland, Markilux offers the perfect balance of performance and style, ensuring your awning is built to last in local conditions.


What Are Cellular (Honeycomb) Blinds?
Cellular blinds are made from folded fabric that forms a series of hexagonal “cells” when viewed from the side. Those cells hold still air, slowing heat transfer through the window. From the front, the fabric sits smooth and minimal, bringing a modern look that suits both period and new-build homes.
