Door curtains can play a major part in adding extra insulation and keeping draughts out. Whether its the main front or back door or even just room to room, a door curtain will certainly help to keep the heat in and the cold out, which in turn will help to make your house more energy efficient and therefore reduce fuel costs.
It is usual to have a single curtain (rather than a pair) for a door and eyelets on a pole are often the best option as you can have less fullness in your curtain so that it does not take up too much space when drawn back open. You will find it more practical to stack the curtain back at the hinge side so as not to interfere with the operation of the door.
We would definitely recommend a thermal lining to best cut out draughts and a bump interlining will increase thermal insulating properties of the curtain by trapping air inside the curtain.
Whilst all our fabrics are available as single curtains, suitable as door curtains, our cotton velvet is still very popular for this purpose. R@zz has been recently introduced into our stock range and it has a higher thermal insulating characteristic than even our traditional heavyweight cotton velvets and has the added quality of being almost impenetrable to light.
Bearing in mind that cold air stays close to the ground, you might prefer to measure your door curtain to just rub at floor level or even to ‘pool’ on the floor by anything up to 8″ (20cm) and act like a traditional draught excluder.
Save money and stay warmer with energy efficient products throughout your home.
