Thermal Lined Curtains And Draperies
Advertisements
Thermal lined
curtains can be used in any room the home, but are most popular in the
bedroom and lounge area. They can be used in the bathroom, but you need to make sure that they are steam resistant
and can handle the high humidity. As these types of curtains are quite thick and have the added lining, they can
absorb water and moisture a lot more than the normal curtain.
Fabrics
As the name suggests, the thermal lined curtain contains an additional lined, insulating
material. This lining provides the added benefit of keeping 99.9% of light out as well as keeping the room warmer
in the winter or cooler in the summer.
The curtain contains two layers; The inner decorative layer where fabrics such as cotton,
velvet, polyester and silk are used. The second layer also known as the lining is used to provide insulation which
consists of materials that do not conduct heat and reflect heat. This thermal lined layer can also be used as a
blackout layer, preventing light from entering the room. This is obviously useful to block daylight, but also in
the evening if there is an outside light that filters into the bedroom. A popular choice among consumers are the
microsuede thermal curtains.
Types of Thermal Lined Curtains
These curtains are also known as thermal window coverings and can also go by the name of
insulated lined curtains. They are now available in many window treatments such as blind or roller blinds,
shutters, grommet curtains and drapes. Although each provides a certain amount of insulation, the curtains provide
the most effective way of handing the heat or cold.
Thermal insulating kits can also be purchased if you wish to change your existing curtain
or drapery into a thermal curtain. This is a cheaper option, but does take some work to complete the conversion to
thermal curtains. It mainly consists a thermal lined material that is placed behind the existing curtain and then
attached to the main curtain. An alternative is to purchase thermal plastic that is attached to the window, but if
it is not done correctly it can look messy by distorting the window view.

Although a manufacturer may say that their curtains provide the blackout functionality, this does not
necessarily mean that it is thermal lined curtains. So, make sure that the description
specifies that the curtain is lined with an insulated material. The additional
insulation can help your home to be more energy efficient and bring down the cost of your heating bills in the
winter. If you are looking for ready-made thermal insulated curtains, you could look at the Eclipse thermal
curtains.
