It's officially Autumn so we wanted to share our NEW stat about how window dressings can help reduce heat loss. 

Installing certain window furnishings in your home can reduce heat loss by up to 55%* which could make a significant change to your energy bills for years to come.

Lisa Cooper, Head of Product at Thomas Sanderson, says:

"Simple but effective draught-proofing will stop your home from leaking heat. Draughts can be found in windows and the power of window furnishings in the colder months shouldn't be underestimated. 

 Installing certain window furnishings like Duette® blinds in your home can reduce heat loss by up to 55%* which could make a significant change to your energy bills for years to come. Their unique honeycomb structure that traps air and they can be electronically powered and controlled by remote, making them the perfect solution for your bedroom. 

 Not layering your window treatments is also a big mistake to make in the cooler months. Just as an outfit with a jacket and scarf is warmer than a shirt, multiple window coverings provide additional insulation and protection for your home. This not only gives flexible light control but maximises energy efficiency especially if you add  linings. The difference that a lining can make to a window furnishing should never be underestimated. A polyester or cotton lining has an extra layer of wadding which gives Roman blinds an extra thick, padded appearance as well as additional thermal properties."
