Insulating all curtains
Thicker fabrics, like our blackout fabrics, have a higher insulating and sound-absorbing effect, this is because the fabric is woven in three layers. Sound-absorbing curtains insulate heat as well as acoustics.
Consider adding an extra layer of curtains. By using several layers, for example net curtains with over curtains, you create an air barrier that traps heat. Folding curtains also counteract the cold blast from a window. Or choose curtains with a lining. This adds an extra layer of insulation and helps keep heat in.
