With winter here, and a third of our energy bills going towards heating, effective insulation is vital. Lahood Window Furnishings offers solutions that enhance both the aesthetics and energy efficiency of your home.
Up to 45% of heat loss occurs through windows, so choosing the right window coverings is crucial. Whether you prefer sleek blinds or elegant curtains, both act as thermal barriers, and understanding their individual insulating benefits can help ensure the best choice for your home.
Luxaflex® Duette® Shades: The ultimate insulating blinds
Luxaflex Duette Shades from Lahood are perfect for a contemporary look or if space is limited. Consumer NZ tests reveal honeycomb blinds like Duettes provide up to 33% more insulation than double-glazing thanks to their innovative cellular design that traps air in pockets. Available in a range of colours and fabrics with varying block-out capabilities, these shades also offer unique configurations that allow raising from the bottom or the top for versatile light and privacy control.
Added insulation for curtains with Protection Plus Linings
For maximum versatility, the timeless elegance of curtains lined with Lahood’s Protection Plus linings enhances your home decor and offers superior insulation. Backed by a threeyear guarantee, Protection Plus linings provide three levels of thermal insulation and block-out capabilities and can be attached to both curtains and roman blinds.
Alternatively, use the linings separately behind sheers on a twin track for the flexibility of winter warmth and summer airflow. With Lahood’s extensive collection of fabrics from top New Zealand and international design houses, lined curtains also ensure you reflect your personal style while staying warm.
Choosing between insulating blinds and curtains
Deciding between insulating blinds and curtains depends on the room’s functionality, the required thermal protection, desired look, and any space or budget constraints. Lahood’s design consultants can guide you through all these considerations to find the optimal solution for you.
