[KENT, 15 Dec 2022] Window dressings, such as window shutters and curtains, are essential for keeping the heat in the home during the winter. In cold climates, it is essential to have well-insulated windows and use window dressings to prevent heat loss. According to a recent study, homeowners can save up to 30% on their heating bills by using properly insulated windows and window dressings.
Moreover, window dressings come in various styles, so homeowners can find an attractive option to match their home's aesthetic. People looking to sell their homes can invest in window dressings to increase the resale value of their property with these energy-efficient additions.
Curtains
Curtains provide an effective layer of insulation to keep rooms warm during the winter. Simple curtains offer around a 14% heat loss reduction and can be purchased in various materials, including thermal-backed styles, to retain warmth better. Thermal curtains are best for preventing heat loss, as they provide extra insulation by trapping air between the fabric and the window. They can save homeowners up to £290 a year on their heating bills.
Blinds
More durable and easier to maintain than curtains, blinds are another option for keeping the heat in. There are different types available, such as Venetian and roller blinds. The thicker the material, the more effective it is at insulating the room. Depending on the type, blinds can reduce heat loss by 20 to 30%.
Shutters
Compared to blinds and curtains, shutters are much more effective at keeping the heat in, with around 50% heat loss reduction. Wooden plantation shutters can be customised to fit any window size and style and also act as an additional layer of soundproofing. They can cost more upfront, but they offer long-term savings on energy bills. With a range of plantation shutters, Totally Shutters aims to help people looking to reduce their heat loss and add value to their homes.
