Do Thermal Blinds keep heat in?

Up to 50% of a home’s heating and cooling energy can be lost through its windows but with the unique design of Duette® thermal blinds, your home stays cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and insulated all year round.

Do Thermal Blinds keep the cold out?

The unique design of thermal blinds creates an insulating barrier at your windows to regulate the temperature in a room, whilst reducing your energy costs. This helps to keep your home warm in winter by keeping more heat in and cooler in the summer by reducing incoming heat.

What's the difference between thermal and blackout blinds?

Blackout blinds are primarily designed to reduce the amount of light that can enter through the window. Thermal blinds' primary role is to reduce heat loss from a room's windows. The good news is Luxaflex® has designed it with blackout fabrics to give you the best of both worlds.

Are Thermal Blinds any good?

Thermal blinds offer an additional level of insulation to your home so choosing the right thermal blind could significantly reduce your energy use. They are a brilliant way to make every room in your house more comfortable in the winter and summer.
