Thermal Curtains Keep Your Home Warm and Cozy
If you are looking for ways to reduce your energy bills, it may be time to upgrade your drapery. Thermal curtains, also called insulated curtains or thermal insulated curtains, have an extra lining behind the fabric to help retain heat during the winter and keep it out during the summer.
Since thermal curtains are often made from heavy blackout fabric, they provide an additional benefit of blocking out sunlight, helping to promote sleep or create the perfect atmosphere for your home theater. Blackout thermal curtains can be used in any room, although you will want drapes made from waterproof fabric if you want to put them up in a bathroom. You will find them in a variety of styles, including eyelet, grommet, pinch pleated, rod pocket and tab top.
