Questions About Window Treatments for Large Windows
Find answers about choosing curtains for expansive windows—from light control and privacy to sizing and installation.
Do thermal curtains keep cold or hot air out?
Of course! One of the advantages of thermal curtains is keeping cold or hot air out. Using thermal curtains for winter and summer is a nice choice to save energy.
Thermal curtains are always thoughtfully made with curated heavy fabric and tight weave, forming an air pocket to prevent the hot air outside from leaking through the window to the home.
Hanging thermal curtains over windows or doors allow you to enjoy comfortable living spaces.
Can I add lining to thermal curtains?
Absolutely! Lining works very well with thermal curtains, providing cushioning and helping to keep the room cool. We strongly recommend adding a lining to your thermal curtains for even better results.
Going for our custom lining options, use our triple-weave fabric to form an air barrier. The air barrier resists moisture or hot air, reduces heat transfer, and regulates temperature.
In this way, the lining helps to enhance insulation or barrier properties, ensuring you live or relax in a comfortable environment.
What fabric weight should I choose for large windows?
For large windows, higher GSM fabrics perform better. Lightweight options (130-170 GSM) provide gentle filtering, mid-weight offer 40-50% light blocking, while heavyweight like Elma or Gabriel deliver 70-100% blackout with natural insulation properties.
Can I layer curtains for better light control?
Yes! Layering semi-sheer with blackout options creates flexible light management and insulating air pockets between layers, helping to keep the indoor temperature cool while providing complete privacy control.
