by tuiss :: Interlined roman blinds and curtains

February 7, 2012 by Vanessa·1 Comment

Here at tuiss we like to keep our customers as warm as can be! With this in mind we are pleased to unveil our new lining option, make way for interlined curtains and interlined roman blinds.

Interlining is an additional layer of a soft fleece like fabric that sits in between the fabric and the lining. Interlining not only makes your blinds or curtains hang and drape beautifully, it also provides great heat insulation. Like hanging a “mini duvet” at your window interlining will help keep rooms warm and cosy and keep those energy bills down!

For rooms that suffer with cold or draughts choosing interlining is a very wise choice indeed, as well as making rooms warmer, interlining will help lower energy consumption and bills too.

Interlining is available across the Cadence range of curtains and roman blinds.

Energy bills continue to be a ‘hot’ topic…how can we reduce them / save our pocket / save the planet etc etc

At tuiss we have a roller blind that can help to reduce your bills and make your home feel that bit warmer. The tuiss range of ‘NRG’ energy saving roller blinds tackles the heat loss from your windows. (Even the best performing windows lose five times as much heat as the same area of wall.)

An NRG blind has a special thermal coating on its rear that keeps the heat in and the elements out. All the NRG blinds offer significant environmental and cost benefits, just choose the blind that best suits your interiors scheme. The most thermally efficient blinds are from the NRG¹⁵ range, the energy saved is 15%, that’s £133* per year saved off your energy bill and in your pocket instead.

Want to save 20% on your heating bill? We do!

Here at tuiss our green team has just completed the Carbon Trust’s Energy Walk Around checklist. We’ve decided that purchasing some radiator panels is the way forward, particularly for our customer services office where the wind whips up the hill straight onto the wall!

Placing a radiator panel behind a radiator ensures that the heat doesn’t disappear into the wall but instead gets circulated into the room. Pay back is estimated at just under a year. What a no-brainer!

As the temperature drops so our homes get chillier and the heating gets turned on or up. If we’re not careful though we fight a losing battle as precious heat escapes through ill-fitting doors and un-insulated cavity walls. Don’t be glum though, tuiss can help!

An NRG blind has a special thermal coating on its rear that keeps the heat in and the elements out. All three ranges of NRG blinds offer significant environmental and cost benefits, just choose the blind that best suits your interiors scheme. The most thermally efficient blinds are from the NRG¹⁵ range, the energy saved is 15%, that’s £133 per year saved off your energy bill and in your pocket instead.
