It can be confusing trying to navigate the differences between different blind types and styles, especially when they are from the same range. Whilst the Perfect Fit Honeycomb blinds and Perfect Fit Pleated Blinds have many similarities as listed above, they have some notable differences too.

Perfect Fit Honeycomb

The Perfect Fit Honeycomb blind is made from a double layer of fabric that forms a honeycomb structure that has a hidden cord that runs through it. This aspect of the Perfect Fit Honeycomb makes it a popular option for customers who desire a cleaner, neater and aesthetically pleasing blind.

Both the Perfect Fit Honeycomb Blind and Perfect Fit Pleated Blind offer UV protection. Often if sunlight is shining through your windows for a prolonged period, then this can cause discolouration and damage to your furnishings and furniture. Due to their design, Perfect Fit Honeycomb blinds offer protection from UV rays and prevent damage to your furniture and furnishings.

Perfect Fit Honeycomb Blinds also offer excellent thermal benefits. The honeycomb structure of the blind’s traps air between the fabric and insulates the room, meaning it’s a great option to help keep your home warm.

Perfect Fit Pleated

Perfect Fit Pleated blinds are made from a single layer of fabric known as a ‘plisse’, with visible cord holes in the fabric. These blinds do offer some thermal benefits due to how close they are to the window, where they create an insulative barrier. However, because they are a single layer fabric they don’t trap any air in between the layers like Perfect Fit Honeycomb blinds.

Unlike Perfect Fit Honeycomb blinds that block all light from windows, Perfect Fit Pleated blinds allow some light and air to escape through the cord holes.

The Perfect Fit Pleated, like Perfect Fit Honeycomb offer UV protection and prevent fading and discolouration of furnishings.

Hopefully this comprehensive guide has helped inform your decision of which blind best suits your needs. Both the Perfect Fit Honeycomb Blind and Perfect Fit Pleated Blind are fantastic options for your home. While the styles are very similar, for a more aesthetic finish and increased thermal benefits, opt for a Perfect Fit Honeycomb Blind. If you are wanting your blinds to be more breathable and let in some light to your home, then Perfect Fit Pleated Blinds are the best option for you.
