Beyond providing privacy and controlling and filtering light blinds and curtains They play an important role in controlling the temperature of the house. Thermal blinds and curtains not only regulate the amount of sun that enters the house, but also, if they are well placed, They prevent the entry of cold and the loss of heat from the house. They are therefore a fundamental tool when it comes to making efficient use of energy.
For be well placed we mean that they completely cover the windows. In screen blinds, the most collected must exceed the window profiles by at least 10 cm to ensure good insulation and in the curtains by 20 cm. If we go to the limit and leave the profiles and frames visible, in addition to not being an aesthetic option, we are leaving uncovered where the windows meet the walls, which is one of the spaces where heat loss occurs.
Thermal blinds should not be confused with opaque ones. The latter also have a thermal effect but they completely darken the rooms but they replace the function of the blinds and they are not designed to have them cover the entire window during the day because then we would lose the light.
What characterizes these insulating blinds and curtains is that they have a composition of pvc with microperforations which also have the advantage of being fireproof and washable with a cloth. Their designs are increasingly better finished and in some models an aesthetic very similar to textile is achieved.
