Well-fitted shutters and blinds are a great way to keep your home insulated and reduce your energy usage; which is better for both the earth and your pocket.
With energy prices reaching record highs this winter many people are looking for ways to reduce their energy usage and save the pennies. Better insulation is one of the top ways to reduce your energy usage – keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer – and windows can account for 10 to 20% of a home’s heat loss.
A New Look While Conserving Energy
Although windows are one of the main contributors to heat loss in a home, replacing them is a timely and expensive project that few people are currently able to afford. However, there is another option that not only increases the insulation but also improves the aesthetic of your home. Professionally measured blinds and shutters fit closely against the frame of your window which helps to prevent drafts and keeps the warm air in, meaning you can stay cosy over the colder months even with the heating at a lower temperature.
We have a variety of styles of blinds and shutters, including wooden shutters and pleated blinds, in many different colours. You can find the perfect option for your personal style and your new blinds will not only save you money on your heating bill, but will also update the décor of your home. You can even opt for motorised blinds, making it easier to open them to soak up the sun’s rays during the day and close them to trap the warm air inside when the evening becomes colder.
