Comparing standard roller blinds to thick curtains, the curtains will tend to be the better insulators; but when it comes to regular linen curtains that you might pick up readymade online or on the high street and with a thin lining (or possibly no lining at all), some roller blinds will fare better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog post will look at which is warmer, roller blinds or curtains, in various different scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-roller-blinds-as-warm-as-curtains\">Are roller blinds as warm as curtains?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/luxurious-floral-curtains-in-a-gorgeous-traditional-sitting-room.jpg\" alt=\"Luxurious floral curtains in a gorgeous traditional sitting room\" class=\"wp-image-8082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/luxurious-floral-curtains-in-a-gorgeous-traditional-sitting-room.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/luxurious-floral-curtains-in-a-gorgeous-traditional-sitting-room-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/luxurious-floral-curtains-in-a-gorgeous-traditional-sitting-room-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/luxurious-floral-curtains-in-a-gorgeous-traditional-sitting-room-940x479.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This depends on the roller blind and the curtain, and also, how they\u2019re hung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curtains can range from thin\/fine enough to let lots of light through to thick, heavy materials like velvet with a thick lining, and comparing just two curtains of these two different types with each other will provide a large great degree of variance in the insulation stakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/roller-blinds\">Roller blinds<\/a> too can be made of a lightweight polyester that again, won\u2019t even keep out bright light, or from a denser fabric along with a special thermally insulating, heat-reflecting blackout lining. Again, these two different roller blinds will have quite different insulating properties, and so it can be hard to give a straight answer to which is warmer in the abstract between curtains and roller blinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a broad rule, I\u2019d say that if you\u2019re talking about heavyweight, thick, lined curtains that won\u2019t move in a breeze, these will almost certainly be warmer and offer more insulation than the average roller blind; assuming that they\u2019re hung in such a way as to minimise gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curtains of this type will block cold air from the window and keep it out of the room, and trap heat from the room on the inside. They also hold a layer of air that offers insulation between the room-facing part of the curtain and its lining too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-if-you-buy-thermally-insulating-roller-blinds-which-is-warmer-roller-blinds-or-curtains\">If you buy thermally insulating roller blinds, which is warmer; roller blinds or curtains?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/green-floral-thermal-blackout-roller-blinds-in-cream-living-room.jpg\" alt=\"Luxury green floral thermal blackout roller blinds in cosy cream living room\" class=\"wp-image-8083\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/green-floral-thermal-blackout-roller-blinds-in-cream-living-room.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/green-floral-thermal-blackout-roller-blinds-in-cream-living-room-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/green-floral-thermal-blackout-roller-blinds-in-cream-living-room-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/green-floral-thermal-blackout-roller-blinds-in-cream-living-room-940x479.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Roller blinds made with a special <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/roller-blinds\/blackout\/\">thermally insulating<\/a> finish on the back are designed to keep cold air from the window out of the room, and to keep the heat in the room.
