Honeycomb Openview Manual Blind

Honeycomb OpenView manual blind

Fits anywhere "inside the recess"

It is a robust 4-sided frame blind (more forgiving on out-of-square recesses)

It is less fragile and doesn't fault easily

We usually recommend the honeycomb OpenView manual blind over the SkyFIT manual blind as it is more suitable for windows that are out of square and can fit anywhere inside the recess. Whereas the SkyFIT blind only fits at the bottom edge of the recess (flush with the ceiling) and it is more suitable for out-of-square recesses.

SkyFit manual blind 

Fits at the "bottom edge of the recess flush with the ceiling"

Is a 3-sided frame (relies heavily on the squareness of your recess)

Needs to be operated very carefully to ensure that the roller fabric is not pulled out of the side channels

To help your blinds stay in top condition and look great for years, here are some helpful tips for care and maintenance.

A Note on Honeycomb Fabric

Honeycomb fabric features hollow cells with open ends, meaning it can occasionally trap flies or debris. However, the Honeycomb Openview Manual Skylight Blind is cleverly designed to fit snugly within its own frame, thus reducing this issue. A little regular cleaning will keep your blinds in perfect shape.

How to Clean Your Blinds

Cleaning the Fabric

• Close the blind until it’s about three-quarters closed.
• Gently remove dust using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
• To clean between the pleats, carefully shift the fabric while in this position.

Cleaning the Aluminium Frame

• Wipe the aluminium frame with a glass cleaner.
• The durable powder-coated finish ensures no damage from standard cleaning products.

Cleaning the Side Channels

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust or debris from inside the side channels.
• Don’t stress about perfection—your blinds are designed to function reliably without intensive cleaning.

Dos and Don’ts for Cleaning

Avoid these products:

• Solvents
• Abrasive cleaning sands or pastes
• Organic thinners
• Harsh alkaline detergents

Use these instead:

• A mild detergent and water or soap and water solution.
• Soft sponges or cloths (avoid anything abrasive like steel wool).

How Often to Clean Your Blinds

For optimal performance and appearance, aim to:

• Clean them at least twice a year:
  • Once after winter, to remove accumulated dust.
  • Once after summer, especially if windows or doors are frequently open.

Regular Maintenance Tips

Inspect your blinds periodically to ensure they’re in perfect working order. Look out for:

• Unusual noises when opening or closing.
• Uneven movement, such as one side operating faster than the other.
• Loose screws in the side channels.
• Signs of wear and tear on cords or other moving parts.

By following these simple steps, your Honeycomb OpenView Manual Blinds will stay as functional and stylish as the day they were installed!
