When Melbourne’s weather swings from scorching summer heat to chilly winter mornings, having the right window furnishings is essential for comfort and energy efficiency. Quality blinds, shutters, and curtains don’t just look great — they act as thermal window coverings, helping you maintain the perfect indoor temperature while reducing heating and cooling costs.
Why Window Furnishings Matter for Insulation
Windows are one of the biggest culprits for heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Without proper coverings, up to 40% of a home’s heating energy and 87% of cooling energy can escape through glass. Installing energy-efficient blinds or shutters can:
• Reduce energy bills year-round
• Keep rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter
• Protect furniture and flooring from UV damage
• Improve comfort and privacy
