How can thermal blinds reduce your heat loss?

Our cleverly designed Thermal blinds are made up of honeycomb-shaped cells that create an insulating layer at your window. These help keep your space at a more comfortable temperature all year round. They're a practical solution that is available in a wide range of colours and styles.

What are thermal blinds?

Thermal blinds are a type of window dressing designed to keep cold draughts out of your home. Clever innovative honeycomb-shaped cells, made from two pieces of pleated fabric joined together, reduce heat loss through your windows, helping to make it a more comfortable temperature for you.

Do thermal blinds help keep the cold out?

Thermal blinds add an extra layer of insulation to your windows so they're a great way of stopping heat escaping out and cold air coming in. Always choose well-fitting blinds that provide good coverage all around the window and for maximum impact make sure you close your blind as soon as the sun goes down. We worked with the experts at Salford University to understand how our products can help prevent heat loss. The results from their specially created lab, the 'Energy House' showed that our blinds can reduce heat loss by up to 55%.

Are thermal blinds blackout?

Due to their layered design, Thermal blinds will reduce the amount of light that enters your home, creating a blackout effect. Our innovative Thermashade™ Pleated blinds offer both insulating and blackout properties. This means you can help regulate the temperature by reducing the heat lost through your windows, and sleep better by reducing the sunlight coming into your room.

Are made to measure thermal blinds more effective than ready made blinds?

A made to measure blind will fit precisely in your windows, unlike off the shelf blinds that may have gaps. With thermal blinds, having a tight fit with no gaps means that they’ll do a better job of creating a barrier at your windows and excluding drafts, making them more effective.
