The Hive range at Blinds By Post is a perfect-fit honeycomb blind available in 52 colourways, starting from £21.42. Perfect-fit mounting means no drilling into the window frame - the blind clips into a slim frame that grips the rubber gasket of a UPVC double-glazed window - and the cellular (hive) fabric construction gives measurably better insulation than a standard flat roller.

Who it suits

This range is well suited to living rooms and bedrooms where you want a clean, drill-free install and some degree of light management alongside insulation. The cellular structure traps air between its fabric layers, which reduces heat loss through glazed areas more effectively than a single-layer roller or Roman blind. That makes it worth considering in any room where heating efficiency matters, particularly on larger windows where heat loss is most noticeable.

Because it is a perfect-fit blind, it is only compatible with UPVC (PVC-U) double-glazed windows that have a sufficient recess and rubber gasket to accept the clip-in frame. It will not work on wooden or aluminium window frames. Renters who cannot drill will appreciate the no-trace removal, but they should confirm the window type before ordering.

The opacity class is not stated by the retailer for this range. Confirm with Blinds By Post before ordering if you need full darkness - a honeycomb fabric can range from light-filtering through to dimout, and the product description should clarify which applies here.

The colours

52 colours available

The nine finishes split into two fabric textures: four Plain colourways (Barley, Concrete, Iron, Black, and White) and five Silkweave colourways (Elephant, Hills, Raven, and Ash). The Plain options are flat and uniform; the Silkweave finishes carry a subtle woven texture that catches light slightly differently and suits rooms where the blind is a design feature rather than a purely functional item.

The palette reads as neutral and restrained throughout - warm off-whites and creams (Barley), mid and cool greys (Concrete, Elephant, Hills, Ash), deeper charcoal and near-black tones (Iron, Raven, Black), and a clean White. There are no bold or warm colours in the range; anyone looking for a terracotta or blue finish would need to look elsewhere.

The from-price of £21.42 positions this as an accessible entry point for a honeycomb perfect-fit blind. The final price will depend on the dimensions you enter - wider and taller windows cost more. The pricing widget above shows the full size-by-price grid; note that the blind must be ordered to your measured window dimensions and cannot be cut down at home.

How it compares

Against a standard flat roller perfect-fit blind, the Hive range adds insulation through its cellular structure. If thermal performance is not a priority, a flat roller in the same fitting type would typically offer a wider fabric palette at a similar or lower starting price. Conversely, if insulation is the primary goal, cellular and honeycomb blinds are the standout choice among blind types - more so than Romans, rollers with thermal backing, or standard pleated blinds.

Within the Blinds By Post perfect-fit category, buyers wanting a decorative patterned fabric or a coloured finish outside the neutral-grey-to-white palette would need to compare against the wider perfect-fit range. The Hive range is best understood as a considered, low-profile option for buyers who already know they want a honeycomb blind and need a no-drill fitting solution.

Fitting and operation

Perfect-fit frames clip into the rubber seal around the glass of a UPVC double-glazed window. No screws, no drill, no surface damage. The frame holds the blind flush with the glass, which also reduces edge-light leakage compared with a bracket-mounted blind of the same width. Before ordering, measure the depth of your window recess and check with Blinds By Post that it will accommodate the frame depth required - the minimum recess requirement varies by product and should be confirmed before purchase.
