Many know of the potential for a window to be energy efficient with double-glazing and coating methods that reflect the light rather than absorbing it. But curtains can also assist in making a home more energy efficient. An energy efficient curtain could be the least expensive way to help reduce your heating and cooling expenses. Most energy efficient curtains are the same value as standard curtains and are available in attractive and stylish designs.

Energy efficient curtains that have a dark surface inside your home and a light-reflecting surface against the window that diverts sunlight before it can turn into heat, leaving a room cooler in the summer months.

In the colder seasons when hot air from inside reaches a window, it warms the window and lowers the temperature. Energy efficient curtains block the internal hear from escaping and prevent this heat loss.

The key to making the most of energy efficient curtains is a proper fitting. Standard, unfitted curtains will allow more airflow between the curtain and the window, wasting energy.

Even after you have energy efficient curtains it is important to weather-strip your windows. Weather-stripping your windows can keep out the uncomfortable cold air that creeps into your home through the cracks. Weather-stripping and energy efficient curtains are an inexpensive remedy to a heating and cooling dilemma.
