Why Window Treatments Matter to Energy Efficiency

 Windows account for up to 30% of a home's cooling and heating energy loss. Warm air passes through uncovered or ill-insulated windows during summer, while warm air escapes in winter, causing your air conditioning and heating systems to work longer hours.


With a suitable choice of window treatments, it is a breeze to restrict this energy loss, enjoy more consistent indoor temperature, and make lesser payments in terms of electricity bills. For a purpose besides its intended usage, modern-day treatments also carry refinement, filter light, and grant more seclusion.


1. Blockout Roman Blinds – Elegant and Useful

Blockout Roman blinds are a homeowner's go-to for adding traditional elegance with energy-efficient efficiency. Blockout Roman blinds are constructed with heavy, insulating materials and designed to form a tight seal around windows, shutting out heat transfer and light penetration.

We design blockout Roman blinds to precise specification for every window, with perfect coverage and energy efficiency. They are most valuable for use in bedrooms, media rooms, or any space where light and temperature control are paramount.


Energy Advantages:

  • Excellent thermal insulation

  • Effective blocking of light and UV radiation

  • Helps to maintain room temperature throughout the day


2. Roman Shades with Sheers – Dual Function, All Day Comfort

For the more adjustable option, Roman shades with sheers offer a multi-layered solution. The sheer fabric allows for soft diffusion of light and daytime privacy without admitting views outside. Behind the sheers, the blockout layer can be lowered when needed to exclude heat or retain warmth.

This two-layer system gives you greater control by day and also reduces the necessity for artificial lighting and climate control systems.

Recommended for: Living spaces, home offices, and open-plan spaces.


3. Motorised Outdoor Blinds – Smart Exterior Protection

Windows not only require protection from within. Motorised outdoor blinds provide an effective means of deflecting solar heat before it even hits your windowpane. Remote-controlled or integrated with smart home devices, they can be programmed or set according to sunlight intensity or temperature, providing a smart, hands-off way of saving energy.

A-One Curtains and Blinds offers an assortment of long-lasting, UV-resistant motorised outdoor blinds for Brisbane's weather. They are ideal for closing off patios, verandahs, and large windows from the direct sun.

Benefit:

  • Protects your home from solar heat before it enters
