Is your home starting to feel a bit chilly?

Now that the clocks have gone back, the days are getting shorter, the nights longer and the weather is getting a bit colder. Your home may also be starting to feel a bit chillier.  Are you tempted to turn up the thermostat on your heating? Or are you too worried about the increase in fuel bills?

One method to make your home warmer is to insulate it.  A well-insulated home will heat up quickly and stay warm for longer as the warm air won't be disappearing through draughty windows or thin walls.

Even if you have double-glazed windows, installing thermal blinds can add more insulation.  

What is a thermal blind?

A thermal blind is a window blind that has extra thermal qualities that help keep your room warmer for longer.  They are also known as insulated blinds and energy-efficient blinds.

At Forth Blinds, we now sell and install made-to-measure Honeycomb blinds that have extra insulating qualities. The blind has multiple layers of fabric pleated together like a honeycomb to form air channels.  These cells of air help reduce noise from outside and help block the warm air from leaving or the cold air from getting into your room.




You can read more about thermal blinds in our article, 'Stay Warm this Winter with Energy-Efficient Insulated Blinds'.

If you aren't so keen on blinds, you might wish to consider our Urban Shutters for a modern look.

If you live in Edinburgh or the Lothians, one of our team can visit your home with some samples to help you decide which option would be best for your home.

As the weather has improved and the evenings have got longer, people in Scotland are spending more time in their conservatories, sunrooms and garden rooms. These rooms are all fantastic additions to a home but often homeowners find that they are too cold in the winter and can become too hot in the summer.   The best way to make more use of a conservatory is to install made-to-measure blinds for the windows and doors. The blinds will help keep a conservatory warm and cosy in the colder months and they will keep the room cooler on sunny days.
