Vancouver, British Columbia Mar 10, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - There are differences among window coverings regarding keeping homes warm throughout the winter. Double-cell honeycomb blinds are the most efficient window coverings, according to a recent study published by Smart Blinds Shop (Luminex Smart Blinds Inc.).
The Inspiration Behind the Study
Due to the recent spike in heating costs, homeowners are searching for easy, tried-and-true fixes that don't need replacing a whole window. Driven by several consumer inquiries and the apparent discrepancy between "professed" effectiveness and actual outcomes, the Smart Blinds Shop research team started a two-week winter trial. Simply put, the goal was to evaluate popular window coverings in typical cold weather and determine which one provides the most insulation.
The Surprising (or Not-So-Surprising) Winner
As a group, all tested window coverings offered better heat retention than a bare window. But it was double-cell honeycomb blinds that rose to the top. Exceptionally effective in reducing heat loss, its tiered, air-trapping pockets allowed rooms to remain comfortably warm for much longer. No covering could equal the double-cell design's efficiency, even if single-cell honeycomb and blackout roller blinds also made a noticeable energy saving.
Why Is It Effective?
Why do double-cell honeycomb blinds work so well? You can think of them as adjustable insulation. Tiny air pockets are produced by their internal channels, which aid in obstructing the heat flow. Particularly useful is this design if you reside in an area with long cold seasons. Since windows are among the most prevalent places for heat loss, investing in a high-performing blind can make all the difference.
Practical Savings
According to the study, improved window treatments can significantly reduce winter energy costs, however, the precise figures differ depending on the climate, the size of the property, and heating patterns. This research suggests that blinds do make a difference, especially if you choose honeycomb, for homeowners who have long questioned whether they do.
Extra Benefits and Points to Remember
Installing blinds correctly is important because if side gaps are not sealed, even the greatest blinds will work poorly. The secret is to measure carefully and fit snugly.
All-Year Benefits: Although the focus of this study is on winter performance, several of the evaluated coverings are equally effective at reducing unwelcome summer heat, giving them a flexible option.
Style and Function Come Together: Beyond their effectiveness, blinds nowadays are available in a large range of styles, allowing homeowners to improve comfort without sacrificing their beauty.
