As winter approaches, finding cost-effective, environmentally friendly ways to keep our home warm becomes a priority. With the right window coverings, you can create a naturally warm and inviting atmosphere, while reducing your reliance on heaters or air-conditioners.
By choosing innovative window coverings which utilise the power of natural light and insulation, you can ensure your home is both cosy and energy efficient. Here’s how:
By selecting window coverings that optimise the natural flow of light into your interiors, you can create a warm and welcoming atmosphere during the winter months, while minimising the need for artificial lighting.
For instance, Luxaflex® Silhouette® Shadings offer adjustable vanes that filter sunlight, reducing glare and harmful UV rays while allowing soft, diffused light to enter your home. These shades harness natural light to create a warm ambiance, while providing privacy and insulation.
Effective thermal insulation is crucial for keeping your home warm and comfortable during the colder months.
Luxaflex® Duette® Shades have been specially engineered with a unique honeycomb structure which traps air, creating a layer of insulation between your windows and the interior of your home. This unique design prevents heat loss during winter and heat gain during summer, allowing you to reduce reliance on heaters and air-conditioning.
If you want to take your insulation a step further, it’s worth considering Luxaflex® Duette® Architella® Shades which offer a honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb structure, for maximum energy efficiency. In independent testing, this window covering has been proven to reduce the average home’s heating costs by up to 43%1 in winter.
Another great option is Luxaflex® PolySatin® Shutters, which have a unique construction. Whether at your window or doors, they can keep the cold at bay and help to keep your home comfortable throughout the colder months.
Window coverings crafted from cosy textiles and fabrics not only add warmth to your space, however, they can also enhance its visual appeal.
Luxaflex® Roman Shades, available in a wide range of fabrics, provide a luxurious and elegant touch to your windows while offering insulation against the cold. When closed, Roman Shades form a soft, insulating barrier that helps retain heat and keep chilly drafts at bay.
Motorised window coverings provide convenience and energy efficiency by allowing you to program your coverings to operate automatically based on your preferences or the time of day.
This automation optimises natural light and insulation effortlessly. Luxaflex® PowerView® Automation is an innovative system that enables you to schedule your window coverings to open during the day, allowing sunlight to naturally warm your space, and close them in the evening to retain the warmth and enhance privacy.
