In many building regulations and simplified analysis methods, solar effects on buildings are characterized only by the exposed apperture area and the average solar transmittance of the glazing and thermal curtains used. However, the true impact of solar radiation on the internal conditions within a space are often much more complex than this simple relationship would suggest. How can thermal curtains make a difference?

If you are living in a colder climate, it makes you recognize how important thermal curtains can be used for insulating a house.

Thermal Curtains can keep your house comfortable and warm all through the cruel winter months without sending your heating bill through the top! Thermal Curtains keep the temperature more constant in the house, whether you want it cool or warm. Thermal Curtains can save on energy costs since cool or warm air is not lost out through the window.

There are many types of thermal curtains and thermal drapes to choose from. There are different types of thermal curtains which you can choose to match your personality and decorative theme in your home. One of the most common of the thermal curtains is the box pleated thermal curtain or drape. These thermal curtains are pre-gathered into pleats at the top of the thermal curtain so that they always have a neat, tailored look. These thermal curtains can be a little more expensive than just a plain thermal curtain, but the extra fullness can add a nice touch to your window treatment and improve energy efficiency.

Thermal curtains and blackout curtains can also be good sources for noise blockage. If you live on a noisy street or have to sleep during the day, sometimes outside noise can be disturbing. Thermal curtains can help reduce the noise level as well as the light level.
