Many homemakers, amateur interior designers or professionals often focus on window treatments to beautify the home. There are endless ideas and styles of blinds, shades, curtains and more to enable your creative juices to flow. However, with increasing energy costs now more and more an important issue, the question has arisen – how can you combine attractive features with energy efficiency? The answer: insulated curtains.
You might be pleasantly surprised when you begin to shop around for insulated drapes. The variety of colors and designs may leave you wondering why you haven’t considered them before. One of the outstanding features of this kind of curtain, apart from energy savings, is its nearly complete sun-blocking characteristic.
A good example of this kind of curtain with the blackout feature is the Cannan Stripe Themaback insulated curtain by Eclipse. This foam backed curtain blocks out nearly 100% of all exterior light. Additionally, Eclipse claims that these curtains will help you reduce by close to 25% the amount of your heating and cooling bill.
For a media room or the office with a masculine feel, you would do well to try the Themalogic Hearthside energy saving curtains. The solid colors work well with media room furniture. But more importantly, these curtains block out excess sound so as to complement the energy conservation with a sound buffer.
Another possibility and style are the Kimlor insulated curtain panels. These are of the tab top variety. They are made of 60% cotton and 40% polyester with extra insulation effect from the acrylic backing. The tight weave also adds to the energy saving bottom line.
In addition to insulated curtains, the thermal feature can be found in shades and blinds. Hunter Douglas, Bali, Comfortex, Levolor and many other companies manufacture insulated window shades which are also known for their energy efficiency. Take the Classic Phenomena shades by Hunter Douglas, for example. With their triple cell shade construction, they provide over twice the energy efficiency of dual-paned windows. These honeycomb shades are of built for durability, maintaining their form and shape in nearly all circumstances.
In the final analysis, you can take insulated curtains, shades and blinds to the bank. Aside from the attractive array of options from which you may choose your window coverings, you can rest assured that with every day and every change in weather, you are keeping more money in you pocket.
