Winter can be an uncomfortable three months of the year; however it’s also one of the most expensive seasons as most of us use an electric heater nightly. Little do people know that an electric heater is not the only way to keep your house warm- the right type of blinds can also do the trick!
By choosing thick, block out blinds and lowering them before dusk you will actually stop icy cold air radiating into the room through the glass. Not only will this stop a lot of the cold air from getting inside it will also not take as long to heat up the room, reducing your energy costs.
Blinds that offer excellent insulation during winter include Blockout Roller Blinds, Blockout Roman Blinds, Panel Glides and Vertical Blinds.
Alternatively, if your house heats up too quickly in summer you may want to install blinds or curtains that will reflect the heat and keep the sun out.
A roller blind in a light filtering fabric will provide complete outward visibility whilst reducing glare and sunlight exposure which will stop furniture fading from sunlight.
