How can blinds help to save money?
Saving money is a very hot topic – and, believe it or not, the right fabric or wooden blinds can help.
With energy prices and the general cost of living at an all-time high, it makes sense to protect your finances wherever possible. The Energy Saving Trust lists windows and doors as a significant part of reducing the cost of heating your home.
So, how do blinds help?
The materials we use to create our honeycomb blinds, roman blinds, pleated blinds, and vertical blinds act as heat barriers – helping to reduce heat loss.
When fitted correctly, cold air gets trapped behind the blind rather than entering your room and reducing the temperature.
What does science say about reducing energy costs with blinds?
According to a scientific study on a specially-built property called “The Energy House”, – researchers from the University of Salford found that closing blinds as the temperature drops reduces heat loss by as much as 13-14%.
Quite simply – the warmer your house stays without heating, the more money stays in your pocket.
Can blinds help on those uncomfortable hot days?
It turns out it’s not just locking the cold out where top-quality blinds can help.
If you find yourself searching the cupboards for that fan on sticky summer days, you’ll be pleased to hear that studies prove blinds will help to keep up to 77% of that unpleasant heat out of your home too.
How will window blinds enhance your home?
You can be forgiven if you think of blinds and only picture roller blinds or Venetian blinds. However, blinds have come a long way, and there is now an almost endless range of styles and material combinations available.
They include:
- Faux wood blinds
- Honeycomb blinds
- Roller blinds
- Vertical blinds
- Venetian blinds (including natural wood Venetian blinds)
- Rigid PVC blinds
- Roman blinds
- Blackout blinds
A style combination to match your home perfectly
Everyone’s homes are different – a real reflection of our interior design tastes and needs.
The question is, how can you be confident you’ll find unbeatable blinds that work with your choices of fabrics, wood, or colours?
There’s no substitute for choice – something we’re proud to offer in abundance at Shuttercraft!
If you’re looking at fabric blinds, you’ll find styles with up to 131 different fabric options – many of which look stunning with the addition of optional gemstones.
Alternatively, you might decide on honeycomb blinds – with over 100 different colour options.
If wooden blinds are a better look for your home, you’ll find more than 36 different paint, stain, or Osmo finishes.
Then again, if you want something unique for your home, why not explore our “Any Colour & Digital Print” option?
Choose from literally millions of images or patterns, and we’ll have your blinds made around your personalised design!
What about if you need water-resistant blinds?
If you’re looking for blinds for high-moisture environments – like bathrooms and kitchens – you might find your choice of fabrics or materials is limited. This is not the case with Shuttercraft.
Many of our blind styles are water resistant, so you can match these rooms to the rest of your home. Alternatively, you can pick a unique style that works perfectly with your bathroom, kitchen, or other high-moisture room!
Are large windows a problem when you’re ordering blinds?
You’ll sometimes come up against a size problem even if you look at good quality off-the-shelf blinds. Often, large windows just aren’t catered for – but this is another area where we do things differently.
Most of our blinds are suitable for windows up to 3m in width. That means even homes with large windows can enjoy the style and money-saving benefits unbeatable blinds offer.
