Insulating window coverings

Curtains that keep you warm.

4 min read

The right coverings can reduce heat loss through windows, especially at night.

Options

  • Cellular (honeycomb) shades trap air in their cells
  • Thermal or lined curtains that seal close to the wall
  • Curtains that reach the floor or sill and use a cornice or valance on top
  • Interior storm panels for drafty windows
  • Close them at dusk in winter
