Curtains Save on Power Bills

There is so much discussion about energy bills in the media at the moment. This is an area that Anna Livia has been passionate about for a very long time. We have been educating our clients on the benefits of curtains for energy saving. The use of curtains as insulation against the heat and the cold has long been overlooked. Many people are unaware of the fact that a ‘lined’ curtain can reduce heat loss by 4% in winter. In summer, heat gain is reduced by 5%. These statistics can be improved even more with the addition of a pelmet. This stops heat gain/loss over the top of the curtain tracks. Good design is also a factor. At Anna Livia our expertise on these matters is second to none. Curtains are not just window dressing, they are another means to reduce costs. The benefit to the environment is also a worthy consideration, reduced power consumption means less Co2, which is a major contributor to global warming.
