According to the Energy Saving Trust, 18% of heat is lost through windows in an uninsulated house*. One of the best ways to reduce this heat loss is to install thermal curtains. They are a cost-effective way of saving energy and reducing your heating bills.

The Eco Experts say high-quality thermal curtains can cut the average three-bedroom home’s heating bill by £327 per year.**
They are thicker than normal curtains and made up of several layers of fabric, which helps to reduce draughts entering a room through gaps around the windows.

A high-quality set of thermal curtains cost around £90-£100 on average, but they can be found for £50-60 at certain outlets. Shopping around is a good idea.

Though it can seem like a lot of money at the time, you only have to buy them once. So the cost savings each year soon add up, and the investment pays for itself in the long run.

You can also add thermal lining to your existing curtains to reduce heat loss through windows. There are plenty of handy guides online that explain how to install detachable linings, and it is easier than you might think (you won’t need a sewing machine!).

So whether you’re looking to buy new curtains, or want to make your home warmer and more energy efficient, consider thermal curtains and linings as a simple option with plenty of benefits.
