Curtains vs Blinds

 

The winter chill has now well and truly arrived.

One of the questions we are most often asked around this time of year would be "are curtains or blinds better for keeping my home warm?"  It's well known that lined curtains are great at keeping the chill from your windows under control.  A full, luxurious lined drape will turn that chilly lounge or bedroom into a snug, cosy sanctuary in no time.  But what about when summer rolls around again?  Most peoples concerns then turn towards glare control and keeping harmful UV rays off their treasured interiors.  Sunscreen blinds are much better in this situation, as they offer both glare control and privacy, all while keeping a room light and allowing you to keep your view.  But coming back to the present and the issue of insulation, roller blinds are less efficient at insulating than lined curtains.

The obvious answer to get the best of both worlds is to combine the two.  Mount a sunscreen blind inside the window frame and have your drapes close over the front.  This allows you to stay warm over winter, and keep the glare out in summer. 

There is however another clever solution to this dilemma.  Recently we have been combining a sheer curtain fabric and a decorative curtain lining on a double track system.  This allows you to close both the sheer and the lining in winter to keep in the warmth, and only open the sheer in summer to let in the light, but cut down the glare and give you privacy.  The decorative effect of a sheer over the lining gives a wonderful soft feel to a room, as well as providing interest through pattern and texture.
