We’re often asked do roller blinds keep the heat in and if so, how? In short, the answer is yes roller blinds do and we will explore how in this article.

A house will usually lose around 30% of its heat through the windows. This is based on a normal house with double glazing and well-fitted windows. This figure dramatically increases if you have the older style Victorian or wooden frame.

If you consider the average heating and water bill in Melbourne is $1100 per annum for gas, that’s around $330 wasted each year by not covering your windows properly. Electricity is much more expensive. The average water and heating bill is approximately $4400 annually. More and more new homes are electricity only and potentially you could be losing $1300 per annum due to your current window coverings.
