Thermal curtains are curtains designed to provide an additional layer of insulation between your room and the window. They typically use specialist thermal interlining or insulating lining behind the decorative curtain fabric.
This additional layer can help reduce heat loss through windows and make rooms feel warmer and more comfortable.
Yes. Thermal curtains can help reduce heat loss through windows by creating an additional insulating barrier. Their effectiveness depends on factors such as the curtain fabric, lining, window type, coverage and how closely the curtains fit around the window.
For the best performance, we’ll help you select an appropriate lining and curtain design for your particular room.
Thermal interlining is an additional insulating layer fitted between the decorative curtain fabric and the curtain lining. It adds thickness and insulation to the curtains while also helping them hang with a fuller, more luxurious appearance.
It’s particularly useful where improving warmth and comfort is a priority.
Yes. Thermal curtains can be particularly beneficial around older or less energy-efficient windows because they provide an additional barrier between the room and the glass.
They can also work well with bay windows and larger areas of glazing where rooms may feel colder during the winter.
Yes. Thermal and blackout properties can be combined using suitable lining systems. This can provide additional insulation while also reducing the amount of daylight entering the room.
Thermal blackout curtains are particularly popular in bedrooms, guest rooms and other spaces where warmth, privacy and light control are important.
Absolutely. Thermal curtains are an excellent choice for bedrooms, particularly during colder months. They can help make the room feel warmer and more comfortable while also providing privacy and, with a suitable blackout lining, effective light control.
A luxurious fabric combined with thermal interlining can also create a beautifully full and substantial appearance.
Many decorative fabrics can be combined with thermal interlining, although suitability can vary depending on the fabric’s weight, construction and performance requirements.
We’ll help you choose a suitable combination of decorative fabric and lining to achieve the appearance, drape and insulating properties you’re looking for.
We work with leading fabric houses including Clarke & Clarke, Sanderson, Harlequin, Morris & Co, Romo, Villa Nova and Prestigious Textiles, giving you an extensive choice of colours, patterns and textures.
Thermal curtains can help reduce heat loss through windows, which may contribute to improved energy efficiency and lower heating requirements. However, the amount of energy saved will vary depending on the property, glazing, existing insulation, room temperature and other factors.
They should be viewed as an additional layer of insulation rather than a replacement for proper window and building insulation.
Yes. Thermal curtains can be made specifically for bay windows, with suitable poles or tracks designed around the shape of the window.
Because bay windows can have multiple angles and sections, professional measuring and installation are particularly important to ensure the curtains provide good coverage and operate correctly.
Thermal and insulated curtains can also help manage indoor comfort during warmer weather by reducing the amount of direct sunlight and heat entering through windows, particularly when combined with suitable fabrics and linings.
For rooms that experience significant summer heat as well as winter cold, we can help you select a curtain and lining combination designed to provide year-round comfort.
