Discover the Benefits of Thermal Blinds

Thermal and insulating window blinds are becoming increasingly popular in the UK due to their energy-saving properties and stylish, contemporary designs. Our energy-efficient blinds are crafted from high-quality fabrics and materials and are available in a wide variety of colours, patterns, and designs. We have a solution to suit all types of windows, interior décors and insulation needs. They offer exceptional versatility with several benefits, including:

  • Energy Efficiency: Our thermal blinds are specifically designed to provide efficient insulation at your windows. They work by creating a thermal barrier which reduces heat transfer thereby minimising energy loss. Reducing your energy bills all year round by saving you money on running the heating, fans or air conditioners.
  • Temperature Control: They allow you to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the year. In winter they provide heat loss reduction by reflecting heat back into the room keeping it warmer. In the summer they reduce heat and light transmittance by reflecting solar heat and light out of the room to keep it cooler.
  • Light Control and Privacy: All our thermal window coverings offer excellent control over both light and privacy. If you want to completely block out the light, we have a wide range of room darkening and thermal blackout blinds to choose from.
  • Noise Reduction: Some types of thermal blinds also have sound-absorbing properties which can help to reduce noise from outside, creating a quieter and more peaceful environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are thermal blinds worth it?
Thermal blinds are a worthwhile investment for most homes. Studies have found thermal blinds can reduce heat loss through the windows by up to 38%, which translates to potential energy savings of 10-15% per year. Factors that can influence how much energy and money you'll save are the size and type of window, larger windows and single-glazed windows lose more heat than smaller or double-glazed windows. High-quality made-to-measure thermal blinds are more energy efficient than lower-quality options and last many more years providing long-term energy and cost savings.
How much can I save?
Depending on the style of blinds you choose, you can expect potential energy savings of up to 15% per year, which for an average-sized three-bedroom home could equate to a £120-£200 annual saving. In addition to reduced heating costs, you’ll have a more comfortable home and a smaller carbon footprint.
Do thermal blinds keep cold out?
Yes, thermal blinds can help to keep out the cold. They’re designed to trap a layer of air between themselves and the glass, helping to insulate your windows and prevent cold air from entering your room. Made-to-measure thermal blinds, the type we manufacture, will keep the most cold out due to their snug and precise fit.
What is the difference between thermal and blackout blinds?
Sometimes there are no differences. Almost all blackout blinds are also thermal blinds, but not all thermal blinds are blackout blinds. Blackout blinds are thermally efficient due to the thick, insulating lining used to block out the light. However, not all thermal blinds are blackout. Some thermal blinds, such as cellular pleated blinds trap air for insulation but are not always blackout.
Can thermal blinds be used in any room?
Absolutely. They’re a versatile choice and well-suited to any room of your home. They’re perfect for bedrooms, living rooms or dining rooms, and we also have a range of PVC thermal vertical and roller blinds that are ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.
Can I install them myself?
Yes, even with just basic DIY experience they’re relatively easy to install and no more difficult than standard blinds, and they come supplied with easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions.

Second blind we have bought excellent service no complaints
This is the second time I've placed an order. Been very pleased both times with the quality and service. A good range of fabrics and the sample swatches were sent quickly and were really helpful for choosing.
There are a lot of made-to-measure blind companies out there but English Blinds had such good reviews that I decided to go with them. I'm so happy I'll be ordering another blind from them soon. Recommended!
