If you want to keep your house warm and reduce your energy costs, thermal curtains are an excellent cost-effective investment.
All blinds will help with temperature regulation to some degree. But a thermal liner provides an extra layer of insulation on your blind and will help retain heat and exclude cold air, keeping you warm in winter but cool in summer. Thermal shading works by preventing cold drafts and heat loss in each room. Depending on the type of thermal curtain you choose, each will help insulate your home differently.
Cellular thermal pleated blinds create a heat-reflective barrier at your window. These unique blinds have aluminum-coated honeycomb pockets that trap air inside. This creates a thermal barrier between the window and your home, reducing heat loss by up to 40%. In the summer months, this aluminum coating helps reflect sunlight and prevents your space from becoming uncomfortably hot.
There is also a range of thermal blackout curtains that keep the light out and the heat in with their insulating effect. Made from 100% polyester and with a thermal lining, they prevent heat from escaping your home.
The thermal effect depends on the position of the blind
Thermal blinds or thermal curtains will make a difference if hung outside the window, especially if there is a generous overlap of fabric to cover the wall surroundings. For your blinds to be most effective, they should be fully closed, as any gaps will compromise their effectiveness.
However, thermal blinds are most effective when they are made to measure, fit correctly and are fitted in the window recess as this places them closer to the glass, further preventing heat loss.
All roller blinds will in some way reduce heat loss and help insulate your home. Finding the right thermal blind for you and using it correctly can significantly lower costs with ever-increasing energy bills.
Skylights have a big impact on temperature
Skylights are the windows that provide the most heat and cold in a room. Therefore, it is important to secure rooms with roof windows against the heat of summer and protect them from heat loss in winter. Here, roller blinds with a blackout backing will ensure a comfortable temperature all year round, reducing heat loss by up to 20% in the colder months and keeping out harsh heat in the summer.
The benefits of thermal blinds and curtains
When it comes to choosing the best thermal blinds for your space, it’s important to consider all their benefits and what you consider most important.
Privacy and light control Like most blinds, thermal blinds offer a great degree of light control and privacy, especially if you choose blackout. Pleated and cellular blinds can be opened from both the top and bottom, giving you more control over the light coming into your home. Top-down – bottom-up custom blinds are great for maintaining your privacy without losing your view.
Energy efficient Thermal curtains are an excellent choice if you want to increase the energy efficiency of your home. How do thermal curtains save energy, you ask? Well, by reducing heat loss and creating a layer of insulation, your home will stay warmer for longer, saving you money on rising energy bills when you need it most.
Noise reduction Thermal blinds not only block heat and light, but they can also block external noise from entering your room. While not completely noise-reducing, thermal blinds significantly lower the impact of outdoor noise, whether it’s weather, traffic or your neighbors. These noise-reducing blinds are the perfect choice even if you live in an urban environment.
Aesthetics But it’s not just about functionality and features when buying your blinds or curtains. It also needs to look good. Here you’ll find a wide range of thermal curtains in different styles, colors and designs to fit perfectly into your rooms.
How much energy do blinds save?
Roller blinds are an extremely affordable way to save on your energy bill. All blinds can help with temperature regulation to some extent. Blinds with thermal lining or insulation layers can reduce heat loss by up to 20-40%. This can save you a huge amount of money on rising energy bills. Therefore, the price of thermal blinds should also be considered in relation to how good an investment they are. And the price of thermal blinds varies depending on style, size and fabric.
Made-to-measure blinds, pleated blinds and roller blinds are tailor-made to fit exactly to a specific window or door. Made-to-measure sun protection offers several advantages over standard roller blinds, Venetian blinds and pleated blinds.
The homes and buildings of the future are intelligent. In fact, they are already here, ensuring that homes and buildings are significantly more energy efficient and create a healthier indoor environment.
