They bought them for the added insulation. They live in Tasmania and have very big picture windows in the living area and installing these blinds has made a significant difference to the heat levels. They did look at a cheaper version of the honeycomb blinds but said the "papery" quality didn't look like it was going to last the distance. They have a lot of children including two very young ones. Don't know if this helps. I know that dymonite said on a thread somewhere here that they were happy with the cheaper honeycomb blinds. Re: Luxaflex Duette blinds - Does anyone have them?? 3Feb 27, 2014 12:14 pm Oh thanks Lili! So, there are 2 types?? Do you know what is the material type that your brother has? And what are they called (if not honeycomb)? ... I guess I should really visit a display centre!! but hate having to go out all the time My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... Re: Luxaflex Duette blinds - Does anyone have them?? 4Feb 27, 2014 12:35 pm Not so much two types but different manufacturers making honeycomb blinds out of different materials. See this thread: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=15050#p1015654 It is from 2009 but Dymonite says: Heavy curtains and honeycomb blinds are mostly effective for stopping winter heat from conducting outwards. Honeycomb blinds do come in a blockout variety with foil lining that does offer some radiant heat control. But this should not be the primary method of stopping solar thermal radiation entering the building. We incidentally are getting Beautiful blinds do manufacture and ship to Adelaide. They are 25-35% cheaper than our local manufacturers using Luxaflex Duette (and I obtained about 5 quotes). If you do a little research you find that Luxaflex is part of the Hunter Douglas Group who are affiliates of Turnils. Turnils markets the honeycomb blinds as Nordic Light whilst Luxaflex calls it Duette. There are a handful of local companies who have the direct licence to use the Turnils product. You can contact Turnils Australia for them. Velux now also manufacture their own honeycomb blind range as well.

I have to admit that it totally slipped my mind that "Duettes" might not be the only blind of that type on the market!! Thanks!!!
