Looking for a decorative honeycomb fabric built for large windows? Our 45mm art pattern honeycomb blind fabric is available in single cell, cell-in-cell (double cell), side-by-side double cell, and pleated structures, featuring printed artistic designs on the fabric surface rather than a plain solid color. The 45mm cell is our largest size, trapping more still air than 38mm and below while giving the printed pattern the most surface area to display on — a common pick for large residential or commercial glazing. Below you'll find full specifications, structural comparisons, application guidance, and answers to the questions buyers ask most.

Art pattern honeycomb fabric applies a printed design onto the base fabric surface, turning the shade itself into a decorative element rather than a plain functional cover. At 45mm, this decorative surface is paired with our largest air pocket for the strongest thermal performance in the range.
Decorative design feature: The printed pattern gives interiors a distinctive look that plain-color fabric can't offer, with more surface area to showcase the design at 45mm.
Highest insulation in the range: The 45mm cell holds more still air than 38mm and below, reducing heat transfer more effectively on large glazing.
Light control & privacy: Semi-blackout and light-filtering options soften incoming light while maintaining privacy; blackout performance can be added with a backing layer if full light-block is required.
Noise reduction: The larger hollow cells absorb more sound than smaller cell sizes, useful for street-facing or commercial glazing.
Crease memory: Heat-setting during manufacturing keeps the larger folds sharp and evenly spaced through repeated raise-lower cycles without distorting the printed pattern.
The same four structural options available in smaller cell sizes are also offered at 45mm, each suited to different performance priorities at a larger scale.
| Structure | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Single Cell | One row of hexagonal cells; slim profile, lower cost | Large residential windows on a moderate budget |
| Cell-in-Cell (Double Cell) | A smaller cell nested inside a larger cell, doubling the insulating air pockets | Commercial glazing and climates with high heating/cooling demand |
| Side-by-Side Double Cell | Two cells placed adjacently rather than nested, adding rigidity and depth | Extra-wide windows needing maximum structural stability |
| Pleated | Simple accordion fold without a hollow cell; flatter, more compact stack | Large skylights and shaped windows with limited headrail depth |

Printed fabric has quality factors beyond the base material itself, and larger panels make print flaws more visible. Four areas separate premium art pattern fabric from fabric with blurry, faded, or misaligned prints:
Print clarity and resolution: Premium fabric has sharp, well-defined print edges with no visible blurring or bleeding between colors, even across the wider 45mm cell surface.
Pattern alignment: On wider panels, the printed pattern should repeat and align consistently across the width, without visible seams or mismatched pattern edges.
Print colorfastness: The printed design should resist fading under sun exposure at the same standard as the base fabric color — a common weak point on lower-grade printed fabric.
Crease consistency: Precise heat-setting keeps folds even and sharp through repeated raise-lower cycles without cracking or distorting the printed surface, which is more visible on the larger 45mm fold.
We test and certify art pattern honeycomb fabric against the major international benchmarks so buyers can match documentation to their target market's regulatory requirements.

Large residential windows: Floor-to-ceiling windows and oversized glazing benefit from the stronger insulation of 45mm cell-in-cell or side-by-side art pattern fabric.
Commercial and office buildings: Curtain-wall glazing and large storefronts use 45mm pattern fabric to manage solar heat gain while adding a branded or themed visual feature.
Hospitality (hotels, conference centers): Large-format printed fabric with strong crease memory holds up under frequent operation while giving spaces a distinctive, design-led look.
Kids' rooms and themed interiors: Pattern designs offer an easy way to add character to a room without repainting or wallpapering, even on larger windows.
Skylights and atriums: Pleated 45mm structure's flatter stack height suits large angled or shaped glazing while still showing off the printed design.

Honeycomb fabric with a printed decorative design on the surface, rather than a plain solid color.
Quality print colorfastness matches the base fabric's grading (4+ under international standards), resisting fading under normal sun exposure.
Cell-in-cell insulates slightly better with its nested air pockets. Side-by-side offers more structural rigidity for larger windows, with similar insulation performance.
Standard fabric is semi-blackout or light-filtering. Full blackout is possible with an added backing layer — let us know if you need it.
