Thermal Blinds
With the rising cost of energy bills, we have found an increasing number of clients turning to us to help stop the heat from escaping through their windows.
Whilst all window covering will help act as a thermal barrier, there are some window covering which have been innovated specifically for this purpose and thus are the most efficient thermal solutions.
Thermal products almost act like a cavity between the glass and the room. By trapping the air in-between, thermal blinds prevent / slows down heat and cold transfer.
Did you know that the average household can lose between 10% – 25% of heat through the windows?
See below for a list of products that can help keep your house warmer this winter:

Thermal Plantation Shutters
Plantation shutters help improve thermal efficiency by acting as an insulating barrier between the window and the room. Here’s how:
-
Reduce Heat Transfer: The solid material (usually wood or composite) reduces the amount of heat that passes through the window glass, helping to keep heat out in summer and in during winter.
-
Minimize Air Leaks: When closed, shutters fit tightly against the window frame, reducing drafts and preventing conditioned air from escaping.
-
Control Sunlight: The adjustable louvers allow you to control how much sunlight (and heat) enters the room, reducing the need for cooling.

Thermal Pleated Blinds
Pleated blinds help as a thermal product by reducing heat transfer through windows. Here’s how:
-
Insulating Air Layer: The folded fabric design shaped as a honeycomb has air pockets which traps air in the fabric itself. This layer of trapped air coupled with the layer of trapped air between the blind and the window acts as an excellent form of insulation that helps keep heat out in summer and warmth in during winter.
-
Light & Heat Control: They can be adjusted to control the amount of sunlight entering the room, reducing overheating and glare.
Thermal pleated fabric can be found in the following blinds types:
- Freehang pleated blinds
- Perfect fit Blinds
- Blind Screen
- Skylight blinds
- Roof lantern Blinds

Thermal Roller Blinds in side channels
Roller blinds in side channels help as a thermal product by sealing gaps and enhancing insulation. Here’s how:
-
Minimise Air Leakage: The side channels hold the fabric tightly against the window frame, reducing drafts and preventing warm or cool air from escaping.
-
Block Heat & Light: When made with thermal or blackout fabric, they block solar heat in summer and retain warmth in winter.
-
Improve Energy Efficiency: By reducing heat transfer through the window, they help maintain a stable indoor temperature and lower heating/cooling costs.

Thermal Curtains
Curtains help as a thermal product by reducing heat transfer through windows. Here’s how:
-
Insulate the Window Area: Thick or lined curtains trap air between the fabric and the window, creating a barrier that slows down heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
-
Block Drafts: Closed curtains reduce cold drafts and prevent warm indoor air from escaping.
-
Control Sunlight: They limit direct sunlight, reducing overheating and glare during hot weather.
