How do thermal blinds and curtains work?

FAQ’S for thermal blinds and curtains
What are the most thermal efficient blinds?
All thermal blinds will improve the efficiency of a room, but the best of the great lot are honeycomb blinds. Honeycomb blinds are made using two layers of material that form a row of small cells throughout the blind. Air is trapped within these cells which then significantly improves insulation, in turn keeping the cold air out during the winter.
Are thermal curtains better than thermal blinds?
Both thermal blinds and thermal curtains are excellent options for helping to keep the heat in during winter. While there isn’t a lot of variation between curtains and blinds, the best way to maximise heat insulation is by layering your windows. For optimal result, fit a thermal blind within the window’s recess and hang a thermal curtain from above the window.
Are thermal blinds worth it?
With energy costs on the rise, any step to limit the need to over heat a room will invariably reduce costs. Moreover, it’s important not to just see thermal blinds and curtains as purely functional. While excellent at limiting heat loss, these blinds and curtains are as fashionable and beautiful as their non thermal counterparts. By investing in quality thermal blinds and curtains, you can save money on heating while maximising your decor!
