Get your home cold weather ready with thermal efficient blinds

The summer is winding down and autumn is just around the corner. Temperatures are soon going to be dropping, and with rising energy bills still placing a huge amount of pressure on British households, it’s essential to be prepared for the colder months ahead. Here at Angel Blinds & Shutters, we believe that one of the simplest and most effective ways to cold-proof your home is to invest in the right window dressings, namely thermal efficient blinds!

With the average home losing around 18% of its total heat through the windows, installing thermal efficient blinds is essential if you want to prevent heat from escaping from your home, and cold air finding its way in. To give you a helping hand, we’ve put together a simple roundup of the best blinds that will help you keep your home warm during the autumn and winter months. Let’s take a closer look.

Roller blinds

A stalwart window dressing that combines style with practicality, roller blinds are a fantastic choice if you are looking to reduce the amount of heat lost through your windows. Crafted from one piece of material, these blinds are guaranteed to provide effective insulation.

Roman blinds

Roman blinds are the perfect choice if you are looking to bring a touch of timeless elegance into your home. Not only are these blinds incredibly stylish, but they are also great at keeping in the heat. Just like roller blinds, roman blinds are crafted from one continuous piece of material that is lined for extra insulation. You can also opt for a thermal lining on your roman blinds, to further increase their effectiveness.

Pleated blinds

Due to their intelligent design and thermal performance, pleated blinds are one of the most energy-savvy window dressings on the market. With a clever honeycomb structure, these blinds can keep warmth inside whilst preventing cold air from entering, rendering them the perfect choice if you are looking to improve insulation in your home.

Day and night blinds

Day and night blinds, also known as vision blinds, operate in more or less the same way as a traditional roller blind. The difference? Day and night blinds have two layers of material, alternating between stripes of sheer and solid block. These layers act as a trap for warm air, making day and night blinds an ideal choice if home insulation is a top priority for you.

Extra tips for creating a cosy space

If you want to level up the thermal efficiency of your window dressings, you may wish to consider pairing thermal curtains and thermal blinds together, to create an added layer of insulation around your windows.

When it comes to design, we also recommend playing around with deeper and warmer colour palettes for your window dressings. Doing so will enable you to create a cosy, snug vibe in your living space that will be especially appreciated during those cold and dark days.
