Keep your Northcote Home warm this winter!

Now that winter is here, you may want to invest in new, energy-efficient window treatments that will make your Northcote home more comfortable and attractive. Here are some options to consider.

Thermal Insulated Drapes for your Northcote Home

To make the most of this option:
• Make sure drapes reach to the floor or the windowsill to form an enclosed box around the window.
• Allow drapes to overlap in the middle by several inches.
• Use heavy, insulated drapes with a separate liner to trap a layer of insulating air.

Roman Shades

These are a nice option if you have beautiful native timber woodwork in your Northcote home and don’t want it hidden by heavy drapes. Roman shades fold into horizontal pleats when lifted, and hang flat when lowered. They can be easily made by anyone who sews. Fiberfill layers can be added between the liner and outer material, or the shades can be made from quilted fabric.

Cellular Shades

Northcote Home

These ingenious blinds are great for keeping in the warmth!

These are ingenious shades made of honeycomb-shaped cells that trap air, forming an insulated panel between the window and your Northcote home’s interior. You can get single-cell or double-cell, light-filtering or light-blocking cellular shades. When lifted, cellular shades fit more compactly against the top of the window frame
than roman shades do.

These window treatments will help to keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
