As Ned Stark said, “Winter is Coming” – and he was right, no matter what time of year he said it. Autumn is just around the corner, and that means the nights will be getting longer and the temperature will be getting lower.
Make sure your house is ready with window insulating blinds from Expression Blinds – we have a wide range of blinds that provide great insulation value, including roller blinds, roman blinds, pleated blinds and even non-blinds window treatments like thick curtains that can help to keep the cold at bay.
The Best Insulating Window Blinds Create Layers of Trapped Air
Insulating window blinds are a great way to insulate your windows and make the most of them regardless of the weather outside. Roller insulating blinds, pleated blinds and roman blinds in particular have been shown to be effective insulators, using single sheets of thick, insulating fabric to create a layer of air between your window and the room beyond, helping to trap heat within where it belongs. This is especially powerful when combined with thick curtains, which create a second layer of trapped air, using the same principal that layered cold-weather clothing uses to keep you warm on a snowy day!
Not only can these blinds reduce heating costs, but with their light filtering capabilities they can also allow light in when closed, making the most of the winter sun whenever it comes out and providing natural ambient light in a room without compromising on your insulation.
Insulating Blinds Are A Great Choice In Summer, Too!
The primary purpose of blinds is often to keep sunlight out of a room when it isn’t wanted – but many of the blinds available from Expression Blinds also serve to keep rooms cool in the hottest summer months. We have a range of insulating window blinds specifically tailored to reflect sunlight away, blocking out heat from getting in as efficiently as they block it from escaping in the winter months. Roller blinds and venetian blinds are particularly great for conservatories, sun rooms or rooms with large, prominent windows or French doors where direct exposure to the sun is more of an issue – they will help keep your room temperature cool when you need it most and serve double duty in the winter to keep you cosy!
Look Into Solar Window Films
Solar window films can be used to allow light into a room without allowing in too much heat or too much damaging UV radiation that may bleach your floors or furniture. While this seems like a window treatment that would only really be useful during the summer heatwaves, it works both ways – in the winter, these window films can help to insulate your windows by allowing light in without allowing too much heat radiation out, helping keep you cosy even if the blinds and curtains are wide open!
What To Expect During Your Free Consultation
Expression Blinds are motivated entirely by customer satisfaction – we will NEVER employ a commission-based salesperson or fitter, so all of our customers can be confident that they are being given the best recommendations and options for their needs.
One of the main ways that we ensure that level of customer satisfaction is with a free, no-obligation consultation with one of our fitters at the start of every job.
At a time that suits you, your fitter will come out and look at the space you need blinds for, speak to you about your wants and needs, what you hope to achieve with your blinds, and what options might do the best job for you. They’ll answer any questions you have, take any necessary measurements to make sure the blinds will fit perfectly, and provide you with a written quote that same day.
Since you’re getting a quote in writing, you’ll know that there won’t be any surprise extra fees or hidden charges further down the line – with Expression Blinds, what you see is what you get on pricing.
Can I Buy Blinds Directly Online Instead?
As well as fitting our made-to-measure blinds, Expression Blinds also sell them directly online through our online sales page – so you can cut out the middleman and fit the blinds yourself, enjoying a lower price tag and the same great results you’d get from any Expression Blinds product!
The only things you’ll need to do are take the measurements necessary to ensure a good fit, and then choose the blinds you’re looking for – besides that, it’s just a few clicks until your blinds are on their way!
Once you receive the blinds, installing them is as easy as fitting any other blinds set – just pop them on to the window the same way you’d install store-bought blinds, and since they’ve been made specifically to your measurements, they should fit exactly. Then settle back and enjoy the best of both worlds: made-to-measure canal boat blinds, without the cost of a fitter.
