Stay Cosy
this winter
Wondering how to stay cosy this winter? Saving energy, keeping your home warm and reducing heat loss through windows during the winter months has never been more important.
Figures published by GOV.UK suggests that in an average UK home, 18% of heat loss is through windows. This includes homes with modern double glazing, and this figure could be even higher for homes with bi-fold doors, skylights or lantern roofs. The glazing industry suggests that this figure could be as high as 30% or even 50% where a home has single glazing.
Did you know that high-quality blinds and shutters can reduce the heat lost through windows during winter by up to 33%? This is according to figures from the University of Salford’s Energy House Laboratory, which conducted extensive tests to measure the heat lost through a typical modern double-glazed window. In particular, the laboratory assessed the impact of different kinds of blinds and shutters. The figures for the reductions in energy lost through windows are impressive:
• Plantation shutters: 28%
• Roller blinds fitted with side channels: 22-33%
• Roller blinds (standard): 13%
• Blackout honeycomb blinds in a framed bead fit system: 32%
We Offer
Innovative solutions, including:
• Duette® blinds – they retain heat during the winter months thanks to their innovative honeycomb construction.
• Shutters – the thermal dynamic properties can reduce heat loss – and we can install them in as little as five weeks.
• Roller Blinds with thermal backings and in-track systems
Top Tips
For maximum energy savings consider layering your window coverings with combinations such as Shutters with Duette® blinds, curtains with blinds, or curtains with shutters.
Open your window coverings early in the morning to benefit from the free solar energy, then close them when the sun goes down to maximise heat retention.
Ensure your window coverings are installed by experienced professionals like ShutterStyle to minimise any gaps in the window space, which could let out heat and let in draughts.
