Homeowners urged to minimize window heat-loss

February 23rd, 2010 

Homeowners have been urged to ensure that they properly utilise their Roman blinds during the winter months to keep their home warm.

Insulating overlooked parts of the home, such as windows with Roman blinds, can help to prevent heat loss, according to Mahogany Builders.

Using expanding foam is also recommended to plug any gaps that may appear around door and window frames, which will also help to protect Roman blinds from damp.

This can additionally help to save around a third of heating energy consumption, claims the building firm’s founder Matt Lederer.

He advises homeowners to open up their Roman blinds and curtains on a sunny winter’s day, which helps to provide the room with both natural light and heat, saving money in the process.
