Do curtains block the cold?

Discover the benefits of insulation with curtains in your home.

If you are looking for an easy and cost-effective way to keep your home warm in the colder months, you might want to consider curtains. While there is a slew of home improvements you can make to enhance the warmth of your home, such as double-glazed windows and insulation, the perfect solution can be as simple as investing in some quality curtains. Plus, curtains have the added benefit of being an attractive addition to your home, as well as adding value.

Do curtains keep you warm in your home? Read on to find out — and then explore our range of high-quality, Australian-made curtains to choose your perfect fit.

Do curtains keep you warm in the home?

Unless you already have double glazing or some kind of insulating film on your windows, there will likely be a fair bit of heat transfer taking place through the glass. What this means is that plenty of the warmth within your home will be lost as it comes into contact with the chill of the outside via your windows. You can protect against this happening with a very simple solution: curtains!

• At iSeekBlinds we offer a range of high-quality curtain fabrics, many of which offer insulation properties so that you can retain the warmth of your home with ease.
• We offer free fabric samples to every customer, and we recommend that you get some free samples of our fabric just to feel the thickness and softness of our curtain options.
• Plus, you can choose from our range of colours and ensure that the curtains you choose perfectly match your home.

What kind of curtains do I need to choose for the best warmth?

At iSeekBlinds we offer a range of curtains and blinds, with a range of fabric options available.

• We recommend that if you are seeking insulation properties and looking for the greatest heat retention you opt for the thickest possible fabrics.
• Many of our blackout curtains and room darkening curtains offer the added benefit of enhanced insulation, along with the benefit of a darkened room for better quality sleep.

Should I layer curtains for the best warmth retention?

An option for customers who are looking for added insulation is to double up on the curtains in their home. For example, you may already have sheer curtains in part of your home.

• Doubling up on curtains is great for insulation, as even a thin layer of fabric can enhance the insulating capacity within your home.
• With another layer of curtains on a separate set of curtain tracks, you can enjoy the best of both worlds – sheer and blockout.
• You can also layer curtains with roller blinds, to give you the ultimate in practicality, flexibility and insulation benefits.
• Double curtains allow you to enjoy the daytime sunshine with your sheer curtains and then trap in the heat of the day with blackout curtains which can be pulled shut at night
