Investing in energy-efficient curtains


Fitting Interlined curtains in your home not only look sumptioous, they also work for your home by adding a layer of insulation to the window.

helps regulate your home's temperature, which leads to lower heating and cooling costs, increased comfort, and reduced noise. These curtains are a relatively inexpensive and simple solution for improving home insulation, especially compared to replacing windows. 

How energy-efficient curtains work

Energy-efficient, or interlined, curtains are typically made with multiple layers of fabric and heavy linings to create an insulating barrier. 

  • In winter, the curtains trap heat inside your room, preventing it from escaping through the windows. This keeps your space warmer and reduces the strain on your heating system.

  • In summer, they block sunlight from entering your home, which helps keep rooms cooler.

Key benefits of investing

  • Lower energy bills: By limiting heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, you can significantly reduce your heating expenses. Some estimates suggest they can reduce heat loss through windows by as much as 25%.

  • Improved comfort: Thermal curtains eliminate drafts and cold spots near windows, creating a more consistent and comfortable temperature in your home year-round.

  • Noise reduction: The thick, layered material also helps dampen outside noise, making your home a quieter and more peaceful environment.

  • Protection for furnishings: By blocking direct sunlight, the curtains protect your furniture, flooring, and artwork from sun damage and fading.

  • Enhanced privacy: The heavier fabric provides increased privacy compared to standard, single-layer curtains. 

To maximize effectiveness

For the best results, interlined curtains should be: 

  • Installed as close to the window frame as possible.

  • Extended several inches beyond the window frame.

  • Long enough to reach the floor or windowsill to minimize airflow.

  • Kept closed during the hottest or coldest times of the day.
