The importance of thermal curtains and blinds
Did you know up to a third of your power bill goes on heating? According to Consumer NZ, windows account for around 45% of heat loss in a home, making effective window insulation from thermal curtains and blinds essential. In cold weather, window panes cool the surrounding air, which then sinks and pulls warm air toward the glass—creating a circulating current that cools the entire room. Thermal curtains and blinds act as a barrier, trapping air and stopping this cycle to keep rooms warmer and more comfortable. For best results, blinds should fit snugly inside the window frame, and curtains should extend to the floor and beyond the frame’s width.

Explore the best thermal window furnishings
Whether you prefer elegant curtains or sleek blinds, both act as thermal barriers and understanding their individual insulating benefits can help ensure the best choice for your home. Deciding between thermal curtains or blinds will depend on the space's functionality, the required thermal protection, desired look, and any space or budget constraints. Lahood’s design consultants can guide you through all these considerations to find the optimal solution for you.
Thermal lined curtains for heat retention
According to Consumer NZ curtains that are lined are one of the most effective ways to retain heat, helping to keep up to 24% more warmth inside your room. To get the most out of your curtains, it’s important to choose high-quality linings, ensure the curtains are properly fitted, and use them effectively.

Automation for enhanced energy efficiency
Think about automating your curtains and blinds to improve temperature control and energy efficiency. Using Smart phone apps, program them to open/close with the sun's cycle to retain heat in your rooms. Automation can be hard-wired for new builds/ renovation or retrofitted with battery operation.
What our Customers Say
1/3
The design team at Lahood advised on fabric, colour and co-ordination. They measured everything while my apartment was still being completed & gave an accurate quote. My electronic blinds & curtains were all installed prior to me moving in. I am so happy with them & have had multiple comments on how good they look.

I have used Lahoods several times over the years and will keep using them. All aspects of their service, from the helpful consultant coming to my home with samples and measuring the windows etc., to the installers coming to hang the expertly made drapes or blinds, have been excellent and and I warmly recommend them.
