When you hear of bespoke blinds in Liverpool, you probably think of a standard set of window blinds, the kind you’ll see in most homes in one way or another. But in this case, that isn’t quite accurate.
For example, our own bespoke blinds from Liverpool, which are custom-made to help trap heat within the home. This thereby prevents thermal energy from escaping through the windows. Reducing the amount of energy needed to keep the home warm during cold weather.
In today’s blog, we’ll be going over the benefits and purpose of such blinds, especially as part of our energy saving window system from Liverpool.
What do we mean by bespoke blinds?
While we are specifically focusing on bespoke blinds in Liverpool, this applies to the broader industry worldwide.
Bespoke window blinds are a form of window blind developed for a specific purpose. Often, this is done to retain heat within the home. Acting as a thermal barrier for the home’s windows that would otherwise be a large source of heat loss.
What is an Energy Efficient Window System?
You’ll find, when you look for them, that there are many energy saving window systems in Liverpool, which act to improve the energy performance of our homes. Often, the energy saving window systems from Liverpool incorporate several pieces of bespoke technology together.
Bespoke fitted shutter blinds and window shutters are packaged together. Creating an effective window system that can offer a significant uplift on a home’s EPC.
Previously, we wrote about a combined system that also included bespoke window shutters and their effect on insulation within the home, which can be found on our blog as well. In case you wish to read further on the topic.
How Can a Set of Bespoke Blinds Improve Thermal Retention?
There are several ways bespoke blinds can work to improve thermal retention in the home.
Thermal Barrier
The primary way, which works in conjunction with our bespoke blinds from Liverpool, is by acting as a physical barrier to energy within the home.
Often, an energy saving window system from Liverpool will include some form of full-body blind to reduce the amount of thermal energy escaping through the windows.
Fitted shutter blinds can even deflect a certain amount of solar energy, reducing the amount that passes into the home.
Air Gap
Part of a comprehensive window system involves creating an air gap between the inside of the home and the outside. This cushion of air acts as a form of insulation that can impact the ability for thermal energy to conduct to the outside of the home.
The barrier is formed as the bespoke blind is closed behind the window shutters, leaving a thin gap of air between the window’s glass and the blind.
Combined System with Window Shutters
Working in combination with window shutters, a bespoke set of blinds can form a two-barrier system. This allows for a certain degree of control over the amount of thermal energy within the home at any given time.
Not only does it ensure that heat within the home is maintained, but it also allows for heat to be released from the home during the hotter months of the year.
