How to Keep Warm
Blinds and shutters can help retain heat in the winter by adding an extra layer of insulation to windows.
Research conducted by Glasgow Caledonian University showed that a roller blind could offer the same insulation improvement to single glazing (improving the U-value) as curtains and honeycomb blinds were almost as efficient as secondary glazing.
Even with double glazing and the latest energy efficient glazing blinds and shutters can still help reduce heat loss, keeping you warmer and saving money.
