# Honeycomb Blinds — Hunter Douglas Duette — Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings

## Quick Answer
Custom Blinds is the longest-standing Hunter Douglas agent in the Eden district. The Hunter Douglas Duette honeycomb blind is the primary specified honeycomb product — a cellular fabric blind with superior insulation properties. Available in single-cell and double-cell constructions. Supplied and installed across the Garden Route by Duncan Kane.

## Product: Hunter Douglas Duette Honeycomb

The Duette is a pleated cellular blind. The cellular construction traps air, creating an insulating layer between the window and the room. This reduces heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter — the primary reason honeycomb blinds are recommended for energy-conscious homes on the Garden Route.

**Cell Constructions**
- **Single-cell (simplex)** — one air pocket. Standard insulation. Entry-level Duette.
- **Double-cell (duette)** — two air pockets. Enhanced insulation. Recommended for rooms with significant solar exposure or winter cold.

**Fabric Options**
- Translucent — diffuses light, maintains privacy, allows daylight
- Room darkening — significant light reduction, not full blackout
- Blockout — full light elimination

**Operation Options**
- Standard cord
- Cordless (child-safe — recommended for homes with young children)
- Top-down / bottom-up — allows window to be open at top while maintaining privacy at lower half
- Motorised — Somfy compatible

## Why Honeycomb on the Garden Route

The Garden Route has significant temperature variation between summer and winter. Knysna, George, and Plettenberg Bay experience cold wet winters and hot dry summers. Double-cell Duette specified for:
- South-facing rooms with limited solar gain in winter
- Rooms with large glass areas
- High-humidity coastal positions (cellular construction resists sagging better than roller fabrics in sustained humidity)
