"Once cold weather hits outside, blinds and curtains prevent heat loss inside by forming a layer of air between the room and the window. This insulating pocket helps to stop warm air escaping from the room as well as blocking draughts from getting in. The thicker the material you choose for your window coverings and the more snugly it is fitted around the window, the better."
"Unlike standard single-layer curtains, thermal varieties are made up of multiple layers, each with a thermal lining sandwiched between. Heat transfer is prevented thanks to the pockets of air that become trapped between the layers. When choosing thermal curtains, be on the lookout for those made from heavier fabrics, take accurate measurements to ensure they fit well and opt for full-length designs that extend all the way to the ground"
Window coverings form an insulating air layer between the room and the window that stops warm air escaping and blocks draughts. Thicker materials and snug fittings increase insulation effectiveness and reduce heat transfer. Shutters fitted tightly can prevent draughts from getting through. Thermal curtains consist of multiple layers with a thermal lining that traps pockets of air to prevent heat loss. Heavier fabrics, accurate measurements, and full-length designs that reach the ground improve thermal performance and enhance bedroom window appearance. Any curtain offers some benefit, but thermal varieties deliver the best insulation.
