HOW CHOOSING PROFESSIONALLY MADE CURTAINS & BLINDS CAN IMPROVE YOUR LIFESTYLE.
Whilst curtains and blinds are predominantly used to control light, privacy, temperature and even noise in a space, poorly fitted, cheaply crafted window treatments will often yield very poor results. Today we outline the reasons why investing in quality custom made curtains and blinds will help improve your home and make it a more comfortable place to live.
Perfect fit ensures better functionality
Custom fitted curtains and blinds are carefully measured to ensure complete coverage of your window, in fact, crafted correctly curtains and blinds improve privacy and light control, insulate your windows and reduce drafts entering your home. This is especially important for homes with timber windows, which offer very little draft protection.
Aside from affecting the aesthetic ‘finish’ of your home, cheaply crafted and poorly fitted curtains and blinds don’t perform well when it comes to light control, insulation and noise control.

Improved Thermal Insulation
Well-designed curtains and blinds can offer better thermal control for your home with the ability to block out the summer heat and reduce heat loss in winter, this improves energy efficiency when it comes to heating and cooling your space, often reducing utility bills.
Better Light Control
A perfectly fitted window covering ensures better light control, improving comfort, especially in bedrooms and living spaces during the day. During times where filtered light is preferred, sheer sun-filtering textiles can be used, offering the benefits of privacy and even sun-protection, without the requirement for full block-out curtains.
Improved Noise Reduction
Heavier and layered curtains which are correctly fitted can help dampen outside noise, which is particularly helpful for homes located on busy roads, in town centres or tourist attractions.
Greater Flexibility with Design
With Thornton & Blake’s vast range of fabrics, colours and styles to choose from, finding a design which suits your personal style is easier, ensuring a perfect fit for your home and needs.
Improving Privacy and Security
Improved privacy works hand in hand with improving your security, particularly for holiday sublets or for those who are frequently away. Intruders are more likely to target homes that appear vacant, especially those with visible valuables. Reducing visibility into your home, can potentially help reduce the chances of it becoming a target for intruders.
Increases Property Value
Professionally installed window treatments will make your home feel more finished come sale day. Especially where quality, functionality and aesthetics are at the forefront of the installation.
