Tips and tricks:
- Thermal curtains and blinds will reduce heat loss through your windows.
- Opening your curtains or blinds during the day and closing them before dark will allow your home to gain heat and retain some of it at night.
- Closing your curtains can help keep your house cool in summer if you close the ones on the side facing the sun and open the windows.
- Good curtains will reduce heat loss through windows by 40-60%. The main thing to achieve with curtains is a good seal that will stop warm air getting behind the curtain, and stop cold air between the curtain and window from getting into your room.
