Which blinds keeps heat in the most?
One the most efficient and effective Blinds to preserve heat in our opinion is Honeycomb also knows as Duette Blinds. Honeycomb Blinds benefit from an increased surface area compared to Roller Blinds, so there’s more opportunity to reflect heat back into the room. The Honeycomb style of the Blinds takes this one step further by trapping warm air in its Honeycomb pockets which in a blackout fabric are also lined with a reflective ‘foil’ type of material. This provides increased insulation while maintaining an attractive design. Honeycomb Blinds are the ultimate energy saving solution, with a variety of seizes available to further strengthen insulation.
How much heat is stored within the blind?
In heating seasons, tightly installed Honeycomb Blinds may reduce heat loss through windows by 40% or more, which equates to approximately 10% heating energy savings. In cooling seasons, Honeycomb shades may reduce unwanted solar heat through windows by up to 60%, reducing the total solar gain to 20% when installed with a tight fit. It’s definitely worth it to get motorised blinds.
