Back to School means something different for us…
As the summer days come to an end, the familiar sight of Back-to-School adverts serves as a reminder that Autumn is just around the corner and the chill of Winter not far behind. Now is the perfect time to think about how to keep your home cosy and energy efficient.
While snow may have been elusive in recent years, the cold certainly hasn’t, making it crucial to prepare your home for the months ahead.
In this blog, we’ll introduce some of our products that not only keep the warmth in but also enhance your home’s energy efficiency.
Curtains: A timeless solution for insulation
Curtains aren’t just a decorative element; they play a crucial role in home insulation. Thick, thermal curtains can significantly reduce heat loss by trapping warm air inside and blocking cold drafts from windows.
Why choose them?
Thermal curtains can reduce heat loss by up to 25%, making them an essential addition for the colder months.
Tip: opt for floor-length curtains for maximum insulation and consider layering with sheers for flexibility during the day.
Shutters: The stylish way to conserve energy
Shutters are more than just a classic, stylish addition to your windows. They also provide an excellent barrier against the cold. Whether you prefer traditional wood or modern composite materials, shutters help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
Why Choose Them?
Shutters can reduce heat loss by up to 50% and offer the added benefit of noise reduction.
Tip: close shutters at night to keep the warmth in and open them during the day to let the sunlight naturally warm your space.
Rooflight Blinds: Maximizing efficiency in modern homes
Rooflight blinds are perfect for homes with skylights or loft conversions. These blinds are specially designed to fit rooflight windows and can make a big difference in energy efficiency by preventing heat from escaping through the roof.
Why Choose Them?
They offer a snug fit that reduces drafts and improves insulation, making your home more energy efficient.
Tip: consider blackout rooflight blinds for added insulation and light control, especially in bedrooms.
Perfect Fit Blinds: Custom comfort and efficiency
Perfect Fit blinds are designed to integrate seamlessly with your windows, providing a neat and tidy look while boosting insulation. These blinds fit directly into the window frame, reducing drafts and helping to maintain a consistent indoor temperature.
Why Choose Them?
The snug fit of these blinds enhances energy efficiency by minimizing gaps that could let in cold air.
Tip: ideal for conservatories or patio doors, where traditional curtains may not be practical.
Blind Screens: Extremely effective
Blind screens provide a flexible solution to maintain warmth while almost being 100% blackout, making them an ideal solution for bedrooms. These screens are ideal for homes that want to balance insulation with a sense of complete darkness in certain rooms.
Why Choose Them?
They are simple and very effective for blocking light entering through a window and super energy efficient, creating a warm and comfortable sleeping space.
Tip: choose honeycomb blind screens for their superior insulating properties.
