Do Thermal Curtains Work in the Summer?

August 14, 2020 by louise

Yes! Thermal curtains work effectively during both winter and summer. Medium- to light-colored curtains with a white, thermally reflective backing can reduce heat gain during the summer by as much as 33% by reflecting solar radiation. The orientation of the window also affects energy efficiency. West- and south-facing windows receive the most solar gain. North-facing windows receive the least. When thermal curtains are properly installed and used, air conditioners can be set back, enhancing energy-savings.

Will Thermal Curtains Match My Décor?

Although many people associate insulating curtains with drab, unattractive designs and fabrics, today’s ready-made thermal curtains are available in a variety of styles, patterns, textures and colors. It is easy to select a thermal curtain that works with your décor. They can also be hung with sheers or other lightweight curtains to give more decorative options.

Thermal drapes are available in a number of styles, including grommet-top, rod-pocket and pleated, that work with many interior styles. They are also available in a range of sizes that fit most windows.
