As Australians continue to see energy costs soar, we need to put thought into every opportunity to save energy in our homes. Roller blinds save energy in many ways, in fact they are one window treatment that can make a significant difference in the amount of energy needed to heat and cool a home. Let’s take a look at how roller blinds can save energy in Australian homes when they are designed, fitted and used correctly:
Fundamentally, roller blinds act as an additional layer of insulation on your windows. During hot Australian summers, they help block out the sun’s heat from entering your home, reducing the need for air conditioning and keeping your home cooler inside. In the colder months, they prevent heat from escaping, thus reducing heating requirements.
A key way in which roller blinds save energy is by bouncing back the sun’s heat. Roller blinds with reflective or light-coloured surfaces can reflect a significant amount of solar heat away from your windows. This minimizes the amount of heat that penetrates your home during hot weather, reducing the load on your cooling system.
Roller blinds save energy by allowing not just control of heat but control of light, too. By strategically adjusting the blinds, you can take advantage of natural daylight and reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day, thus saving on electricity.
Roller blinds save energy by helping control the flow of air through a home. Properly adjusted, roller blinds maintain privacy yet allow optimal ventilation, reducing the need for use of fans or air conditioning.
Today, most roller blind designs can be motorised and even integrated into smart home systems. This allows you to schedule the opening and closing of blinds based on the time of day and the sun’s position, optimizing energy efficiency. When roller blinds open and close automatically to allow light into a home during the day, block out heat during summer and help insulate during winter to stop heat energy ‘leaking’ out, long-term energy savings can be significant. Although the initial investment to have roller blinds motorised and automated might be larger than that involved in fitting ‘manual’ blinds, automated roller blinds save energy and also add value to your home – a double benefit.
With all that we’ve considered, we can see that roller blinds save energy – but are there further advantages to having them custom designed and installed? There most certainly are. The first detail to consider is fit. Custom-made roller blinds are tailor-made to fit your windows precisely and installed with consideration for the best possible result. In fact Country Blinds installers are part of the Country team, rather than contractors, so they always aim for a perfect fit. This ensures that the blinds cover the entire window area, leaving virtually no gaps for light or heat to seep through. Correct fit also enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of your windows and living spaces.
Custom design also gives you more materials options for your roller blinds. When you choose custom-made roller blinds by Country, you have a vast array of options available to personalize them according to your preferences. You can select the fabric, colour, pattern, and opacity level to match your interior decor and achieve the desired level of light control and insulation. Country have hundreds of fabric options to choose from, from opaque to full blockout. This means that you can work with a Country Design Consultant, benefit from expert advice and select the materials that both look and perform best to save energy.
What size are your windows? There’s a chance they might not be a standard size, which means that any off-the-shelf roller blind would represent a compromise in fitting. Custom made roller blinds by Country can be designed and created in a vast array of sizings to perfectly fit virtually any window. A better fit means better control of light and heat, delivering savings on energy costs.
In conclusion, custom-made roller blinds offer superior fit, energy efficiency, and design options, making them the best choice for homeowners looking for tailored window treatments that perfectly complement their living spaces.
