Motorised/smart shadings
Motorised shading, once considered exclusive, has become commonplace thanks to the recent advancements in smart home technology. While discussing motorised blinds in the context of energy efficiency might seem counterintuitive, they can prove highly efficient. For example, a typical motorised roller blind equipped with a built-in li-ion battery requires just two 6-hour charges annually. Leveraging scheduling and routines primarily facilitated through apps and other smart home integrations, these blinds can be effortlessly programmed to optimise heat retention or deflection based on seasonal requirements.

Solar reflective fabrics
As per the Department of Energy, approximately 30% of a home’s heating energy escapes through windows, while about 75% of sunlight entering standard double-pane windows converts into heat. Investing in energy-efficient window shadings is crucial for regulating room temperatures year-round, reducing energy costs, and fostering sustainable living practices. A variety of specialised fabrics, including solar-reflective white backings, heat-resistant pearl coatings, energy-saving aluminium and metalised silver backings, as well as innovative yarns and weave techniques, are available to ensure optimal indoor climate control.

Cellular pleated blinds
Pleated blinds featuring a honeycomb structure formed from dual layers of fabrics, such as Hive or Honeycell, create a barrier of air pockets that effectively insulate windows. This design prevents summer heat from entering rooms and retains indoor heat during winter, significantly reducing heat loss for enhanced thermal insulation. Additionally, these cellular fabrics are available with silver backing for added energy efficiency.
