With winter upon us, did you know having a blind at the window can save your house loosing heat!
We at Shadow Blinds have several options for heat loss.
Ultimately, the thicker the material the blind is made of, the better an insulator it will be. This is a broad rule that makes obvious sense; however, some blinds that are actually constructed of a reasonably thin fabric can also be made with a special thermally insulating lining, which doesn’t add any meaningful bulk but is comprised of a specific type of fabric structure that allows it to perform effectively as an insulator too.
Roman blinds with a thermal lining, real wood blinds and faux wood blinds; and also thermally insulating roller blinds and vertical blinds, these latter two being made with the additional thermal lining I mentioned above. Shutters are also a great option whether made from wood or our composite materials. We also have the Cellular pleated blinds which by design help trap the air in between the cellular structure therefor reducing heat loss and vice versa keeping the room cool in the summer.
Finally, and I am sure that this goes without saying but I will say it anyway – your blinds need to be closed in order to insulate the window, and for slatted blinds and vertical blinds, the slats or louvres need to be lying flush and fully closed too.
