Winter Warmth

lahood furnishings

Lahood® will help make your home warm and cosy with new insulating curtains or blinds.

Since the pandemic, we’ve been spending more time in our homes than ever before. As such, being able to control our home’s heating naturally rather than relying on active heating is becoming increasingly important, both as a way of saving money and making the home as comfortable as possible all year.

 

Our window furnishings play a very important role in home heating. In fact, a huge 30% of our home’s temperature is lost through uncovered windows.

 

However, by making some smart choices, you can help prevent this from happening and start to save money this winter – better for you and the planet! To do so, it’s important to do the following.

Choose state-of-the-art window furnishings.

 

While all Lahood® window furnishings are designed with energy efficiency and thermal control in mind our Luxaflex®  Duette® Shades are very much a market leader in this area. These shades have a unique honeycomb cell structure that traps air and acts as an insulation barrier for windows.

 

The Luxaflex® Duette® Architella® range also features a unique cell-within-a-cell honeycomb construction which creates four fabric layers and three insulating pockets of air.

 

Include Protection Plus curtain linings.

Lahood® has released a range of New Zealand-made linings to complement your décor, keep your home warm and cosy, and enhance the appearance of your curtains. This new range consists of Serenity, Insulpro, and Armorguard. All are energy saving, adding insulation, are dry cleanable, hand washable, and covered by a comprehensive guarantee.

Be sun smart.

One of the smartest and easiest ways to keep your home warmer in winter is to open or close your window coverings at the right time of day. This means keeping your window coverings open during the day and allowing the sun to naturally heat up the interior spaces. Then closing blinds, shutters, or curtains as soon as the sun starts to fade. This will help capture some radiant heat in your internal spaces.
