Products For A Cosy Home

Getting cosy is often associated with snuggling in front of the fire with fluffy throws, onesies and thick woollen, but energy efficient window blinds are another sure fire way of cheating the chill and staying toasty warm indoors.

Products for the home that save energy, and start paying for themselves as soon as they are fitted.

Duette® energy-saving blinds are a wise investment for cost-conscious homeowners who want to lower their annual heating bills. Innovative design means Duette® blinds insulate windows andaccording to new research, can slash annual heating costs by up to 25%¹. With the average heating bill now hovering around £597 per year², this could mean a significant amount of money back into people’s pocket every year!

Consumers can even work out how much energy they could save with these blinds in their own homes by using a nifty energy saving calculator on http://www.duette.co.uk/energysaver/

Experts claim a staggering 50% of domestic heat is lost through windows³, so preventing heat escaping through these ‘energy holes’ should be top of the list for anyone aiming to reduce heating bills and save energy.

Duette® blinds have been designed using a unique honeycomb construction that has been proven to reduce heat loss by up to 46% when fitted in a domestic window.

Save energy with style

Duette® has an extensive range of textures and colour palette which means every room, and every window can be dressed beautifully.

Light and Dark

Duette® is available in a black out option across the range. There is also the choice of more translucent fabrics in a wide choice of on-trend colours. These create a beautiful effect as light can diffuses into the room.

What’s more, the blinds can be installed as a two-in-one setup, where both fabrics are used on the same window frame.

This option also means you can use the translucent fabric during the day, protecting furnishings from 99% of UV rays; and when darkness falls the blackout fabric provides privacy and a good night’s sleep.

Incidentally, all Duette® blinds have child safe operation.

Sounds good

Duette® and its clever design also means that acoustics are improved by up to 45%, preventing ambient sounds and echoes in larger rooms, and unwelcome noise from outside.

Perfect for conservatories

For rooms with large glass expanses such as conservatories, Duette® is a fantastic choice as its design properties will keep rooms snug in the winter.

What’s more, when we’re lucky enough to enjoy a couple of months of sunshine, they cleverly prevent overheating by reducing solar heat through glass by up to 78%².
