Insulated Curtains

One of the fastest and less expensive ways to insulate a room is to place insulated curtains on the windows. They can be very beautiful, perfect for any home and there are so many different styles to choose from. Insulated curtains are a 100% cotton face fabric that is very heavy and insulated on the back lining with strong foam. There are many sizes available in the curtains, including 80 x 84”, 40 x 15”, tiebacks of 24 x 3” and 50 x 2” for wider windows. These curtains are available in many colours, prints and styles. Some of the colours include moss, gold, sage, sienna, navy and linen. There are many reasons why insulated curtains are chosen for window treatments. They provide privacy, keep out cold or hot air and shade a room.

When an insulated curtain is closed, it will not only keep out bright sunlight but also prevent anyone that is outside from being able to see in. The fabric of the curtains is so thick that a lot of light is not able to get through it. They will not keep out the sunlight completely, but will block most of it. Insulated curtains are made with a 100% acrylic thermal lining; therefore, they block light and noise. The sunlight will be blocked by the insulated curtains when needed to but will also absorb the light and heat on colder days. They will reflect the sunlight, send a warm tint into the room and also provide coolness in a room on a hot day.

With the high costs of heating and cooling homes today, insulated curtains can help to minimize costs. Heat that is lost through windows can be quite costly. The heat that a home looses through windows and doors adds up to 50 percent of the home’s energy costs. With older windows, it is a good idea to place insulated curtains on them to save money on your heating bill.

There are many stores today that carry insulated window curtains. You can shop local stores, retail outlets and online stores. Furnishing stores are also a good place to find a large variety. Stores that are found online have great selections as well as prices that are affordable.
