With autumn well and truly here, we start preparing our homes for the cooler months of the year. One of the best ways to insulate your home is through bespoke window treatments. Not all window treatments are created equally, however. With the wide range of treatments available, it can be a daunting task for any homeowner to understand the benefits of each type available. Not all window treatments will be able to provide the insulating properties that we need for our cold (and often damp) winters here in Auckland.
Drapes and Curtains
Bespoke, professionally sewn drapes are often the best solution for our customers. With a wide variety of finishes available, we can help you navigate to make sure you purchase exactly what you need.
The fabric chosen for the front facing fabric can really be a fashion choice for what works best with your room. The range is endless, with polyester options for longevity, stunning linens that provide a natural, elegant finish to your home, or a blend of the two to get the best of both worlds.
What really makes the difference is the lining you choose. We offer a broad range of linings from fully insulating, black-out, mould resistant to a lighter, softer finish that gives the drapes the softness that you require. The fit of the drape is also very important and this is where bespoke drapes can really make all the difference. Floor to ceiling, properly fitted drapes can act as an insulating barrier for your home. Not only will they keep out the cold but this will also create privacy in the darker months, really making your home feel cosy and warm.
Thermacell Blinds
These blinds go within your window frame and, with their advanced technology, create a barrier within your window to keep the cool air out. They are measured and fitted to be inside your frame right up to the edges, so there are no gaps to let any cold air into your room. Again, a wide range of finishes are available, including colour and pattern choices, to work with your home's design.
