Best types of insulated Curtains.

Blockout Curtains.

Blockout Curtains, also known as Blackout Curtains, provide ultimate thermal insulation, preserving up to 20% of the heat in your home.

They are also highly suitable to block out heat in warmer months, giving you year-round temperature and light control. Handcrafted with significant attention and care, our Australian, custom made Blockout Curtains are more durable and last longer.

Double Curtains.

Double Curtains are a versatile window treatment that combines both a Blockout Curtain and a Sheer Curtain on a single window. This innovative design offers the perfect blend of practicality and aesthetics, providing double the benefits.

In the evening, closing the Blockout Curtains ensures thermal insulation, complete light control, privacy and noise reduction. During the day, open the Blockout Curtains and keep the Sheer Curtains closed to achieve diffused light and daytime privacy. You have the flexibility to layer either Curtain to the front or back, allowing for customisable light and privacy preferences.

Lined Curtains.

Lined Curtains feature an extra layer of thick, insulating fabric at the back of the Curtain, enhancing their functionality beyond mere decoration. Originally practical in basic colours with light blocking coats, modern options offer a range of hues to compliment your interior.

Our Australian made Lined Curtains provide benefits like increased fabric volume, UV protection, and thermal insulation.

Cellular Blinds, also referred to as Honeycomb Blinds, feature a distinctive honeycomb structure that offers energy saving benefits by trapping air. This design helps regulate indoor temperatures, making it more efficient to heat and cool your home.

Available in a range of designs and operating options, our locally made Cellular Blinds provide excellent control over light and privacy. Their slimline hardware reduces light gaps and maximises outside views, ensuring a sleek and functional window treatment solution for any space.

By investing in Cellular Blinds, you can save up to 32%* more on your heating and cooling costs.

Roman Blinds.

Roman Blinds are the ideal solution for areas where Curtains aren’t feasible, offering adjustable light control while adding a soft and beautiful touch to your windows.

They excel insulation wise, helping maintain room temperature. When raised, they enhance natural light without compromising privacy and act as a pelmet, completing the window’s aesthetic appeal.

Choose between two types – classic Soft Roman Blinds crafted in soft furnishing fabrics, or contemporary Hard Roman Blinds crafted in Blind fabrics.

Blockout Roller Blinds.

Our Australian made Blockout Roller Blinds are designed to effectively block light and provide superior room darkening capabilities. They excel in enhancing privacy and insulating windows, helping to reduce heating and cooling costs.

Ideal for bedrooms and private spaces where precise light control is crucial, Blockout Blinds offer a range of benefits for your home, seeking both comfort and privacy in your living environment.

A streamlined solution.

Did you know that adding a Pelmet at the top of your window can significantly enhance thermal insulation even more? Pelmets help prevent heat and cooling loss and reduce light coming through the top of the window, making them a valuable addition to any energy efficient window treatment strategy.
