As the temperature drops, and the headlines are once again talking about “energy prices hikes”, now really is a good time to consider improving your window coverings to keep your generated heat indoors.
The English language-word "window" originates from the Old Norse vindauga, from vindr 'wind' and auga 'eye'
Both curtains and blinds play a very important role by insulation your windows and regulating heat flow. Glass is a cold material (put your hand on a table top, or hold a drinking glass).
Simply putting a barrier between you and it, you block the low temperature emanating from the glass.
Add layers to this barrier (a good lining on a curtain, a layered blind such as a cellular or roman blind), and you make it more difficult for cold air to enter your home or warm air to leave.
Improve the fit of the barrier (covering gaps around edges of blinds, fitting a better track for better curtain coverage), and you improve insulation and thermal comfort even more
