Using blinds Vancouver to insulate your home from the cold and help retain heat is a great way to reduce your energy bills, reduce the need to use your home’s HVAC system and save money during the cold winter months. Let’s take a look at 4 ways you can keep your home warm this holiday season with blinds Vancouver.
Choose a Good Cellular Shade
Cellular shades create excellent insulation during the cold winter months. Their air pockets are excellent at keeping away the cold when temperatures drop, reducing the need for your HVAC system and making your home energy-friendly, lowering your monthly heating bills. They limit heat transfer through the windows and reduce heat loss.
Layer Up Your Windows
Regardless of what kind of shades you have, you can always layer up your windows to maximize the heat and coziness in your home. You can add an additional layer of thick, heavy fabric curtains (preferably thermal-lined) which will block out any additional cold that manages to seep through the blinds. This will make a world of a difference in how much warmer your home is, reducing the need for heating and reducing your energy bills.
Try Roman Blinds
Roman blinds are made of a thick, heavy material in a variety of colours and patterns that not only make your home look beautiful inside, but if they have a thermal fabric lining, can trap heat and release it inside the home. There are also roman blinds made from a thinner material, specifically for the summer months.
Opt For Wooden Shutters
Wood is a surprisingly good insulator from the cold, but the gold in wooden shutters lies in the way they are fitted to a window’s frame, creating a tight seal that reduces the possibility of your home being affected by drafts. In addition, the wooden slats when completely closed and flat against each other, create an additionally tight seal.
