Keep the family warm this winter with Luxaflex

Ensuring the health, wellbeing and comfort of our families is a top priority, particularly through winter. That’s why putting measures in place that promote a healthier home is so important. With windows accounting for up to 30% of a home's heat loss, addressing this drain is one way to improve your home comfort significantly—and Luxaflex’s insulating and child-friendly window coverings can help. We’ve picked out some of our favourites below for you to explore.

Feat. Duette Shades with Blockout fabric and Top-down operation

Honeycomb Shades

The original honeycomb shade, Duette® Shades are a standout performer when it comes to room temperature regulation. Effective in warm and cool climates, they operate in a class of their own through the cold winter months and here’s how they do it. Featuring a unique cellular construction, Duette Shades trap air within, creating an effective layer of insulation at the window. In other words, they are superb at stopping your outdoor environment from influencing your indoor one.

This same construction also helps dampen ambient noise, and when paired with blockout fabrics, they offer excellent room darkening–perfect for nap times any time of the day.

With our most extensive range of cord-free and automated options, Duette Shades lend themselves to households with little ones. Antistatic and dustproof, they also make cleaning a breeze and avoid becoming an allergen collection point. And don’t worry about their strength; constructed from spun-bonded polyester, they’re capable of withstanding an accidental mishap or two.

 
























Feat. ClearView Hinged PolySatin Shutters

PolySatin® Shutters

If you are looking for an insulating window covering that can hold up to all that daily life can throw at it, then PolySatin Shutters are your answer. Extremely family-friendly, PolySatin Shutters are water-resistant, durable and free from any pesky cords. Also, staining agents don’t hold to the smooth polyresin surface of PolySatin Shutters, making cleaning a breeze. 

As for insulation, they have that covered too. PolySatin Shutters cellular construction which traps air, combined with their low conductivity, for an effective layer of insulation that significantly reduces heat exchange. Whether at your window and doors, they help to keep the cold at bay and your home comfortable through the winter. 

Australian made and backed by a 20-year warranty, they make for a worry-free investment that will continue to look good as your family grows.


Feat. Dual Roller Blinds with Blockout and Sunscreen fabrics

Dual Roller Blinds

When it comes to roller blinds, sometimes two really is just better than one. A kids bedroom favourite (more on that here), our Roller Blinds can offer so much more in their twin bracket format. Combining the functionality of two different fabrics in the one, you can pair your choice of blockout fabric with sunscreen or sheer for a diffused glow during the day and complete privacy and light control during the evening.

With both rollers down at night, an extra insulative air barrier is created. Compared to standard roller blind setups, you are provided with two spaces between the window and your indoors, not just one. In addition, when foam-backed blockout fabrics are selected as part of this pairing, the insulative performance of Dual Roller Blinds is further improved. 

Offering antimicrobial protection, stain resistance, fire retardancy and more, our extensive Roller Blind fabric collection also carry their own benefits for home and family. Learn more about our range of fabric properties here

Automation

For the ultimate child-safe operation, we recommend automating your window coverings. Through automation, you can forgo traditional operating methods and go completely cord-free for peace of mind. At Luxaflex, we offer multiple automation options for a range of window coverings that you can choose from. But did you know that automation is also a great tool to help warm your home in winter too?

During winter, we highly recommend that window coverings are opened during the day to catch free heat from the sun and then closed before sunset to trap that heat inside. By raising the temperature of your indoor environment during the day and keeping it there, you’ll reduce the energy burden of heating your home, making it easier to keep it warm and welcoming. With automation, you can schedule your blinds to do all the hard work for you too so you can focus on more important things.
