Silk Manual Honeycomb blind
Our manual systems are a perfect addition to your interior. After all, they fit virtually any window. You now have the opportunity to provide your smart home with completely identical window blinds. With our manual system, you can fit the smallest window in your home with our manual window blinds in the same fabric as your smart window blinds!
Silk honeycomb blinds blinds feature a 25mm honeycomb cell with a silky soft texture and a white backing for heat reflection. Available in twelve appealing colors and two transparency options (light-filtering and blackout), suitable for use throughout the home.
Our products are fully custom-made. Enter the desired width and height of your honeycomb blind and we will take care of the rest. You do not have to take any margins into account, we calculate them ourselves. Please note! Before you start measuring, note any obstacles such as door and/or window fittings sticking out, heating pipes or inward-turning doors and windows.

Up to 350cm wide
Are you looking for a honeycomb blind wider than 297 cm? Smartblinds can produce blinds up to 350 cm wide. For these larger widths, you can configure the Spare with motor or manually operated.
- Option A: Determining dimensions for mounting inside the recess
Measure the width at the top of the window and measure the height at the centre of the window. Please note! We supply the honeycomb blind with a reduction of 3 mm on both sides. Specify the exact size of your window and we will make sure the honeycomb blind falls exactly in between. So do not make any reductions! In addition, allow for a system height of 10 cm due to possible obstacles such as inward-swinging doors and windows.
- Option B: Determine dimensions for mounting on window
Measure the width and height of the window, with a small overlap. We recommend an overlap of 5 cm on both sides. So add a total of 10 cm to the width measurement. To determine the height, add the package height of your honeycomb blind (see table below) to the height of your window. Do you want the honeycomb blind to continue at the bottom? Then decide how many extra centimetres you want in height.

You can choose to hang your blind inside the recess or outside the recess:
- Inside the recess
If you hang the honeycomb blind inside the recess, it is mounted between the walls of your window. With this choice, we therefore supply your honeycomb blind with a 3 mm reduction on both sides.
- Outside the recess
If you hang the honeycomb blind outside the recess, it is mounted on the wall and hangs over the window with overlap on both sides.

When you are looking for window coverings, it is important to determine beforehand what transparency you want in certain rooms. In bedrooms, for example, more blackout is usual than in the living room. Smartblinds fabrics can be divided into three different transparencies:
Blackout
Opacity: none - Light from outside is completely blocked and has no possibility to illuminate rooms.
Light filtering
Opacity: limited - Light from outside is obstructed, but not completely blocked.
Sheer
Opacity: full - Light from outside finds its way in, but the fabric offers the desired privacy.
Your blinds should, of course, match your interior. The colour and look of fabrics and materials can sometimes differ from reality from a screen or due to differences in light transmission. We therefore always recommend requesting free fabric samples in advance, so you can assess the fabric (colour) in real life!
A lining affects both the look and functionality of your Roman blind or curtain. It can help make the fabric appear fuller, improve insulation and allow you to better tailor the amount of light entering your room.
No lining
A good choice if you mainly want to preserve the appearance of the fabric and do not need extra insulation or blackout properties.
Light-filtering lining
Ideal if you would like extra insulation while still allowing natural light into your home. This lining also gives the Roman blind or curtain a more beautiful, fuller finish.
Blackout lining
The best choice for rooms where you want more privacy, insulation and blackout effect. Perfect, for example, for the bedroom or a room where bright light is unwanted.
Not sure which lining will suit best? Simply order free colour samples of both the Roman blind or curtain fabric and the lining. By placing the samples behind one another at home, you can immediately see how the combination will look in your interior.
Single Pleat
A single pleat is a clean, modern curtain style where the fabric is gathered
into a single fold at regular intervals. This creates a neat, understated look
with the fabric evenly distributed across the curtain.
- Clean, modern look
- Creates less fullness
- Suitable for lightweight to medium-weight fabrics
- Hangs neatly with a clean finish
Double Pleat
A double pleat uses two folds at each curtain hook, giving the curtain more
fullness and a richer, more luxurious look than a single pleat.
- Fuller, more luxurious look
- Creates a beautiful, even drape
- Suitable for almost all curtain fabrics
- A popular choice for living rooms and bedrooms
Wave
Wave curtains use a specially designed track and gliders to create smooth,
even waves in the fabric. The waves run evenly across the full width of the
curtain, creating a clean and contemporary look.
- Modern and elegant look
- Smooth, even waves
- Ideal for large windows
- Looks stylish both open and closed
Please note: Wave curtains require a special wave track
to create their distinctive, even folds.
Our systems are available in two sizes, small and large. The small system is suitable for small to medium-sized roller blinds. For large sized blinds, only a large system is possible. Our advice is to start by putting together the roller blind for your largest window in the house. If it turns out that you can only choose a large system for this blind, we recommend doing the same for the rest of your Smartblinds. This way you avoid having multiple Smartblinds in your home with different systems. Is your largest product also suitable for a small system? Then choose the system size that you prefer.
Below you will find the system height of the various systems, so that you can take this into account when ordering. Are you mounting your product in the window, but do you have a window that opens inwards? Then you can use this to check whether you have enough room for this.

Our systems for roman blinds are available in two sizes: small and large. Which system size can be used depends on the dimensions of your roman blind. For small and medium-sized roman blinds, you can often choose between system small and system large. For larger roman blinds, only system large is available.
Good to know: system small and system large differ not only in size, but also in appearance. Are you planning to install several roman blinds in the same room? We recommend configuring the roman blind for your largest window first. If it turns out that only system large is available for this blind, we recommend choosing system large for your other roman blinds as well. This helps prevent different systems from being placed next to each other.
Is your largest roman blind also suitable for system small? Then you can choose the system size you prefer.
Below you will find the dimensions of the different systems. This allows you to take them into account when ordering. Are you mounting your roman blind inside the window recess and do you have a window that opens inwards? Please check carefully whether there is enough space for the system.
