Honeycomb Blinds

Honeycomb Blinds are very stylish window covering with exceptional insulating properties.

The fabric’s honeycomb shape helps trap the air and provides an insulating barrier to help prevent the impact of hot or cold weather from entering your home. This helps retain the heat in winter and keeps you cool in summer. Your home will be more energy efficient meaning you will save on heating and cooling costs. Cellular blinds are excellent for light filtering and room darkening and their contemporary look makes them the alternative fashion statement when renovating or building your new home.

Timber Venetians & Plantation Shutters

Both Timber Venetians and Plantation Shutters can create an insulation barrier in the cooler months and their slats can also help reduce heat or strong glare during warmer weather. They also provide wonderful privacy while still retaining the view to the great outdoors.

Curtains

Curtains help to insulate your home better than most other interior window coverings.

Their soft folds help to reduce heat transfer by creating an insulating layer of air between the window and the fabric. Lined curtains provide an extra level of insulation for your home, plus the addition of a pelmet helps trap hot or cold air to help maintain a more controlled environment.
