Do curtains keep heat in? Everything you need to know

Bolton: Keeping your home warm during the chilly months can really hit your wallet. Heating bills, firewood, and extra blankets can add up quickly.

But here’s a neat little trick that might surprise you. Curtains can actually help save you some cash!

Yep, those stylish drapes aren’t just for looks; they can be a great way to keep your home cozy.

According to Harrisons Curtains & Blinds, using the right kind of curtains can help keep your energy costs down.

They work by reducing the air exchange between your windows and the room, which means less heat escapes.

To really make the most of your curtains, go for high-quality, floor-length ones that sit close to the wall and window.

Also, the fabric matters! Heavier, darker materials do a better job of trapping heat compared to lighter ones.

And don’t forget to close those curtains as soon as it gets dark during the winter months!
