The 2026 Shanghai R+T Show delivered some genuinely exciting innovations — and one category stood out above the rest: next‑generation vertical honeycomb blinds engineered for massive openings. These systems push well beyond current market limits, offering wider spans, smoother operation, and new motorisation capabilities that open up design possibilities for both residential and commercial projects.
At Taylor & Stirling, we’re bringing these new systems to Australia as part of our commitment to offering the most advanced window furnishing solutions available.

📐 45mm & 62mm Vertical Honeycomb – Manual Track to 10 Metres
These larger cell sizes will soon be available in manual track systems up to 10 metres wide.
Benefits include:
- Enhanced insulation
- Larger architectural scale
- Excellent acoustic performance
- Stable operation across extreme widths
Ideal for:
- Bi‑fold door runs
- Oversized sliding doors
- Coastal homes with expansive glazing
- Commercial fit‑outs needing thermal control
While these systems will attract higher freight costs due to oversized shipping, they fill a critical gap where rollers, panels, and curtains often fall short.
🏡 Why These Innovations Matter
Architectural design continues to favour bigger glass, wider openings, and cleaner lines. Traditional blind systems struggle at these scales — roller blinds bow, curtains require space, and panel systems become visually heavy.
Vertical honeycomb blinds now offer:
- Excellent thermal performance
- Soft, modern aesthetics
- Compact stacking
- Child‑safe cordless operation
- True large‑format capability up to 10 metres
This positions Taylor & Stirling at the forefront of large‑format window furnishing solutions.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How wide can the new vertical honeycomb blinds go?
The 38mm motorised system can reach up to 10 metres, while the 45mm and 62mm manual systems also reach 10 metres.
Are these suitable for bi‑fold or large sliding doors?
Yes — these systems are specifically engineered for large-format openings where rollers or curtains are not ideal.
Is the motorised version quiet?
Yes. The new soft‑start motor delivers smooth, quiet operation with reduced fabric stress.
Will these be more expensive due to shipping?
Oversized freight does increase costs, but the performance and capability are unmatched in the market.
