Why Do Luxaflex Blinds Cost So Much?

It’s no secret that Luxaflex products are more expensive than your average off-the-shelf blind. But why do Luxaflex products cost so much more? What makes them so special? And are they worth the cost?

We take a comprehensive look at the topic in this blog.

What Are Luxaflex Blinds?

Luxaflex blinds are top-of-the-range window coverings of the highest quality and innovation.

The cellular structure of Luxaflex Duette blinds, sometimes referred to as honeycomb fabric, works efficiently to retain your home’s heat. Not only that, but it provides stunning light diffusion throughout your spaces for a warm, inviting glow.

Luxaflex blinds come motorised for ultimate child and pet safety as standard, with an operating option of your choosing; manual operation, remote control and voice activation are a few of the choices available.

And you can forget the one-size-fits-all approach. Luxaflex holds its customers at the forefront of everything they do, and that means durable, made-to-measure blind solutions that perform perfectly and fit even the most awkward of window shapes and sizes.

Types Of Luxaflex Blinds

The Luxaflex blind range is a beautiful catalogue of gold-standard window covering solutions.

Duette Blinds

Luxaflex Duette Blinds are constructed from those special honeycomb cells to form an insulating blanket for your windows, keeping the warmth in and your energy bills down.

Made from high-quality, beautiful fabrics and available in three levels of transparency, Duette blinds softly shade your room and showcase a stylish pleat that looks stunning in every setting.

Pirouette Shades

Luxaflex Pirouette shades are a new and improved alternative to traditional fabric blinds, and they exude elegance.

The soft lines of their front-facing fabric vane construction mean that Pirouette shades move rhythmically and delicately as you open and close them, providing a floating effect and creating a relaxing vibe for your home.

The UV filtering technology of Pirouette shades also protects your home and everything in it, even when the vanes are open. They come in a huge range of exclusive fabrics, meaning there’s a Pirouette shade to suit all rooms. These blinds are made-to-measure for a perfect fit for every window.

Silhouette Blinds

The magic of Luxaflex Silhouette Blinds is their unique design. Yearn for a perfect outside view? Silhouette blinds enable you to see straight through them when the vanes are open and create a soft shading effect when closed.

The way Silhouette blinds work means you can bask in the daylight and get that much-needed vitamin D without the stark, awkward glare of full sunshine. What’s more, is that you won’t lose out on privacy. The smart white backing of Silhouette blinds obscures the view from outside in, giving you peace of mind that you aren’t overlooked.

How Much Do Luxaflex Blinds Cost?

When you’re updating your window coverings, you want to make sure it’s an investment that will last. Luxaflex blinds aren’t the cheapest on the market, but ask yourself… would you want them to be? Budget blinds might be kinder to your pocket, but they’re borne from low-quality materials and low-grade manufacturing processes.

High-performing, market-leading window coverings like Luxaflex blinds are more expensive than your average shading solution. These blinds are priced similarly to shutters per square metre.

However, there are so many combinations of stunning fabrics and operating systems, as well as the sizes of blinds you require, that the prices vary hugely depending on your choices.

But why? Why, exactly, do Luxaflex blinds cost so much?

Why Luxaflex Blinds Are Special

Luxaflex blinds will transform how you use your home.

Made-To-Measure

Millimetre-perfect and customisable for windows of all shapes and sizes, Luxaflex blinds are custom fit to ensure proper and efficient shading of the spaces you love.

Beautiful Pleats

Luxaflex fabric is constructed in a honeycomb format. This incredibly efficient system of cells traps the heat you want to hold onto in the winter, the stuff you’re paying for, and provides a barrier against the hot summer sun when you’d rather stay cool.

This means you’ll save considerably on your energy bills throughout the year.

The Green Option

Who knew you could look after the planet when buying new blinds? Luxaflex blinds are made of the finest quality materials and are sustainably manufactured. The company has even joined forces with Bionic® Yarn to create the world’s first sunscreen fabric, a fabric made from an unbelievable 50% recycled ocean plastic waste.

Luxaflex Vs The Off-The-Shelf Alternative

Not convinced? Let’s compare Luxaflex to your run-of-the-mill budget blinds.

When you invest in Luxaflex window coverings, you come away with complete peace of mind that your blinds will last because Luxaflex provides a whopping 5-year guarantee. And most Luxaflex blinds fitted by our expert team have lasted even longer than that.

The industry average? A mere 1 year!

Another huge benefit of Luxaflex technology is its fantastic privacy provision. Silhouette blinds particularly, with their gossamer-like backing, allow for total privacy without forfeiting fresh air and a lovely view. You don’t get that with off-the-shelf options!

The sheer luxury of exclusive Luxaflex fabrics is something to behold, too. Stunningly beautiful, high-performing materials that can be fully customised? Yes, please!

Home Automation

As if Luxaflex blinds couldn’t get any better! The Luxaflex system introduces the option of fully and elegantly automated window coverings to simplify daily life.

Compatible with Amazon’s Alexa as well as the specially designed Luxaflex phone app, your blinds can be operated in real-time at the tap of a button. Better yet, they can be programmed to automatically open or shut at an increment of your choice at different times of the day or in specific conditions.

Nursing the baby and need to lower the light levels? Stuck on a Zoom call, and a sudden glare from the sun is obscuring your screen? Live with reduced mobility and struggle to get up and around? Luxaflex has you sorted.

Frequently Asked Questions About Luxaflex Blind Costs

How much do Luxaflex blinds cost per window?

Luxaflex blind prices vary depending on the product type, fabric choice, operating system and window size. As a made-to-measure product with hundreds of fabric and configuration options, every window is priced individually. The best way to get an accurate price is to book a consultation with a Luxaflex Gallery dealer who can measure and advise on the right solution.

Are Luxaflex blinds worth the money?

Luxaflex blinds are engineered for long term performance, energy efficiency and precise fit. They come with a 5-year guarantee, compared to the industry average of just 1 year. The honeycomb cell construction of Duette blinds can noticeably reduce heating costs, meaning they pay for themselves over time.

Why are Luxaflex Duette blinds so expensive?

Duette blinds use a patented honeycomb cell structure that traps air to insulate your windows, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. They are manufactured from sustainably sourced, high quality fabrics and are made to measure for every window. This level of engineering, material quality and customisation is reflected in the price.

Are Luxaflex blinds better than other brands?

Luxaflex is the original inventor of the honeycomb blind and holds numerous patents on its cell technology. Their blinds are made to measure, offer home automation compatibility with Alexa and a dedicated app, and include a 5-year guarantee as standard. Budget alternatives typically use lower grade materials, offer fewer options and do not last as long.

Can Luxaflex blinds save money on energy bills?

Yes. The honeycomb cell structure of Luxaflex Duette blinds creates an insulating layer at the window, which is one of the biggest sources of heat loss in any home. Independent testing confirms that cellular blinds can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 46%. Over a few years, the energy savings can offset a significant portion of the initial cost.
