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.
