The winter months bring with them a drop in temperature and this means that you’ll need to conserve all the energy you can and try to keep each room in your home warm. Yes, we sell blinds, but we also provide curtains too. Curtains can really complete a room by providing an extra layer of insulation, and you can use them alongside blinds too, so why not?
Heavier, warmer materials are best for curtains in winter
Fabrics of course are an important consideration when choosing curtains, you’ll be wanting a heavier material for the winter and we recommend something like velvet or suede or another heavy made fabric that will successfully insulate the room. If you have blinds too, these can effectively provide light and privacy control alongside your curtains.
A versatile range of curtains that are functional as well as stylish
At Knightshades we’ve a versatile range of curtains that come in different styles, colours and patterns. We’re more than happy to provide prompt and informative free home consultations that we offer with our blinds service so you can choose the right quality and style of curtains for your home.
How about winter curtains lined with blackout fabric?
As well as choosing a heavier material you can also have your curtains lined with a blackout fabric, so you’ll cut out all light and get a good night’s sleep. They can also create a barrier between the fabric and the windowpane that offsets any heat loss. If you choose the right curtains, ones made of quality fabric then you could easily cut at least 50% loss in heat for your double-glazed windows and a staggering 60% for a single glazed one.
Accurate measurements for your curtains will result in heat retention and a cosy warm room in winter
It’s good to have your windows measured accurately, because that way you can get the positioning of your drapes and the length of your curtains perfect, and this will have an impact on heat loss or retention. You’ll also have light control and privacy which will last all winter until you take them down and replace them with something lighter.
