Honeycomb Openview Electric Blind

Zip electric roller blinds are great for roof lantern windows, however, unless the space to be filled is very large, they are bulky and extremely expensive with very expensive parts. Additionally, they are heavy and often require heavy tension/fixings on the side channels (to ensure the fabric is pulled flat).

Honeycomb OpenView electric blinds are made from more affordable components, they are much easier to fit and are our best seller.

Keep your blinds looking pristine and functioning flawlessly with these easy-to-follow cleaning tips tailored specifically for Honeycomb OpenView electric blinds.

Understanding Honeycomb Fabric

Honeycomb blinds feature a unique design with hollow cells that can occasionally collect dust or trap small debris. Fortunately, the Honeycomb OpenView Electric Blind sits securely within its frame, minimising this issue. Regular upkeep will ensure they maintain their sleek appearance and smooth operation.

Steps to Clean Your Blinds

Fabric Cleaning Tips

1. Lower the blind to about three-quarters of the way down.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to gently remove dust from the surface.
3. At this position, you can easily access the pleats—shift the fabric slightly to clean between them.

Caring for the Aluminium Frame

• Wipe the aluminium sections of the blind using a glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
• The powder-coated frame is resistant to damage, so standard cleaning products are safe to use.

Cleaning the Side Tracks

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt or debris from the side tracks where the blind runs.
• Precision is not essential here—these blinds are designed to work well even if the tracks aren’t spotless.

Safe Cleaning Practices for Honeycomb Blinds

Avoid using the following products:

• Harsh solvents or thinners
• Abrasive cleaning pastes or sands
• Strong alkaline-based detergents

Opt for:

• A gentle solution of soap and water or a mild detergent mixed with water.
• Soft sponges or microfiber cloths (avoid rough or scratchy materials like steel wool).

When to Clean Your Electric Blinds

To maintain optimal performance and cleanliness:

• Give your blinds a thorough cleaning at least twice a year:
  • After winter, to clear any dust that’s built up.
  • After summer, especially if you’ve kept windows open frequently.

Routine Maintenance Checks

In addition to regular cleaning, inspect your electric blinds for these signs of wear or potential issues:

• Strange noises when the motor operates.
• Uneven movement, such as one side opening or closing faster than the other.
• Loose screws in the side tracks.
• Signs of wear on the cords, tracks, or other components.

With a little effort, your Honeycomb OpenView Electric Blinds will stay as stylish and efficient as the day they were installed. Regular cleaning not only enhances their appearance but also ensures smooth and reliable operation for years to come.

The Honeycomb OPENVIEW blind features a unique cellular fabric design that is framed for easy installation. This visually appealing blind operates smoothly along hidden guide wires, ensuring a wire-free appearance. Despite its lightweight construction, it excels in providing effective shading and heat regulation, making it an excellent choice for both large and small roof lanterns.

– No visible guide wires when retracted
– Runs with a strong belt system so there’s no friction on cords
– Almost blackout when used in a ceiling void
– Low cost compared to other roller blind systems
– Simple side fixing system
– Battery power with solar is also available

The Honeycomb Openview blind has a ‘belt track’ system in the side channels. The belts in each side channel are synchronised to ensure the floating bar runs straight every time.

The Honeycomb Openview Electric Blind comes with pre-drilled pilot holes between 2 to 4 holes in each side channel. There are no fixings required for the top and bottom rails.
Given that the blind doesn’t weigh much, and that it doesn’t require any tension between the rails, you’ll only need to make a secure ‘normal’ fixing to the sides of the recess. Ideally, you’ll caulk fill any gaps around the outside of the frame.

We breakdown all blinds and fit them into a tube or carton. When you receive them, you’ll need to make a 20 min assembly on-site. You can also do it in the workshop if the blind isn’t too big. Make sure you watch the videos and read the instructions guides before attempting to make your first installation.
