Replacement of double-glazed windows in plastic or wooden windows for double or triple structures is a popular, but expensive way to increase the comfort of a house or apartment. If your windows are leaking like a sinking ship, if ice is forming on the inside of the window on a winter morning, if the heater is on full blast and you're still shivering from the cold, don't despair.
Exist effective methods window insulation that will help warm your home and reduce energy costs without depleting the family's household budget.
Energy saving panels for windows
According to experts, energy-saving panels can triple thermal insulation your current windows. They include two layers of glazing in an aluminum frame with an air pocket between them. Energy-efficient panels are attached to the inside of existing windows. They should be selected taking into account the window sizes and features weather conditions a certain climate zone.
Energy-saving panels are the most expensive option for short-term window insulation in cases where the purchase of new windows is postponed.
Air bubble insulation for windows
Bubble film is a cheap and fairly effective way to insulate windows for the winter, however, although it allows light to pass through, the view from the window becomes blurred. Bubble wrap is used primarily in rooms that are rarely used for living, such as storage areas and guest rooms.
Another advantage of bubble wrap for window insulation is that it is fairly easy to install yourself. All that is required is to cut sheets of bubble wrap to fit the window glass, wet the window glass, and then press the bubble side of the film firmly against the window.
How much will the thermal insulation of a window covered with bubble film increase? According to research, in the northern climate of the United States, bubble film can reduce heat loss by 50 percent for single-pane glass. Additionally, bubble wrap for windows can be removed, stored, and reused.
Thermal insulation film
Thermal insulation film on plastic windows is used with inside and is attached using double-sided adhesive tape. Like bubble wrap, it obscures the view from the window somewhat, but is great for rarely used rooms.
Rubber seals for windows
Rubber seals on windows prevent heat from escaping through the gaps between the glass and the frame. Heat loss through window glass will not significantly depend on weather factors. Replacing rubber bands on windows is simple, you can do it yourself, but you must act very carefully so as not to damage the painted surfaces of the window frame.
Insulated curtains or curtains
Insulated curtains or drapes are another way to improve the energy sustainability of a room. winter period. However, they have several disadvantages. To function effectively, curtains or drapes must be closed, but then they will not be able to let light in. daytime. In addition, high-quality warm curtains are quite expensive. Given their disadvantages, many people - especially those who cannot do without natural light and love to look out the window, it is preferable to opt for other options for window insulation for the winter.
How to sew “winter” curtains that will not only decorate the interior of your room, but also help keep it warm
How cold and uncomfortable it is to wake up in the morning in an apartment that has cooled down overnight. Sometimes you don’t even want to stick your nose out from under the blanket, but you have to. When cold weather sets in, many people experience heat loss in the room. This is because the window on the street side is cooled, the room tries to heat it up and intense heat exchange occurs, while the temperature drops significantly. To prevent this from happening, you can purchase special curtains, so-called thermal curtains. Or you can make them yourself without spending a lot of money on it.
As you know, curtains are one of the essential elements when decorating a room, which help create a cozy atmosphere and a unique interior of your room. The windows in everyone's houses are different: some have more, some have less, there are windows with balcony door. How can you make curtains not only retain heat, but also match your interior? Everything is quite simple: you need to choose a suitable fabric and sew curtains according to the parameters of your window.
What you need for “winter” curtains
1. Foil insulation;
2. Fabric that matches the interior of your room;
3. Ceiling cornice.
Insulation is our base, which will be located inside the curtain. For this we take a regular reflector, which can be purchased at hardware store. The size of the insulation should be equal to the size of the window.
We buy the fabric at a fabric store, respectively. Choose thick fabric for curtains. To calculate the amount of fabric, measure the window opening. The width of the fabric is equal to the width of the window, the length of the fabric is the height of the window multiplied by 2. Plus ten centimeters of margin on all sides so that the curtain overlaps the window and does not let out warm air.
We sew curtains
Fold the fabric in half and sew the sides. Thus, you get a large cover closed on three sides, similar to a pillowcase. The most important thing about the cover is that it can be easily removed and washed. Therefore, on the fourth side of the curtain we sew Velcro or a zipper - whatever you like.
Another nuance is curtain ties; they are necessary to roll and secure the curtain during the daytime.
We take pieces of fabric and make garters for the curtains. You will need two of them. The length of each segment should be about one meter, the width ten centimeters. We fold the piece in half lengthwise, folding the edges inward and stitching. The result is a harness that matches the color of the curtain. Fold the harness in half and sew its center onto the top of the curtain. Of course, you can use a beautiful ribbon or lace as garters.
So, the “winter” curtain is ready. The lower part of the curtain is the side that unfastens, the upper part is where the harnesses are sewn. We place insulation inside (be sure to place the foil towards the room if the foil is on the insulation only on one side).
But how can you hang all this on the window? Very simple! For this you should use ceiling cornice. It is sold in various lengths, you can simply cut it to fit your window. It is necessary to attach the curtain rod to the wall directly above the window opening so that there is no gap left between the curtain and the window. We sew loops onto the curtain and hang it on the hooks of the curtain rod.
Of course, you can stop there, but if you are not a fan of boring and monotonous curtains, you can come up with some more stylish and unusual decor. It can be original jewelry in the form of butterflies, flowers, ribbon bows, you can sew on various beads or sequins. Your imagination plays a role here, the main thing is not to overdo it.
This is how it turned out roller blind, which will not only help keep you warm, but will also complement the interior of your room, creating a cozy atmosphere in it.

10 stop signs that will help you understand that the relationship has outlived its usefulness and it’s time for you to leave
Modern methods of preserving heat indoors are varied. If this is a house, the external walls can be lined with foam plastic, which will allow the lion's share of the heat to be retained inside. In an apartment, it is recommended to replace window frames and doors to avoid heat leakage to the street. How to keep warm inside a garage or store? The smart answer is to install a door. But, in some cases, it is more advisable in combination with door leaf use a thermal curtain. What kind of structure is this, and what role does it play in the process of maintaining heat indoors?
Thermal curtain
To the front door of a store or entrance gate the garage is not covered with a thick layer of frost in winter, it is necessary to create a thermal curtain. What it is? This is a structure that is built with your own hands on doorway. To begin with, from soft insulation, you should cut 2 strips 10 cm wide and equal to the length of the opening, and two more for the top and bottom of the opening. Then, using nails and a hammer, we fix the insulation along the outer perimeter of the door frame. On top of the insulation strips it is necessary to fill wooden blocks. The result should be a rectangle with insulation.
With your own hands
Thermal curtains and curtains on doors or gates must be made of high-quality, dense material. It can be tarpaulin, PVC, dermantin. You can also use ready-made strip curtains. If a sheet of material is used for manufacturing, it is necessary to measure the width and length of the frame with insulation. Since the insulation will be attached to wooden beam, you need to sew rings at the top of the sheet that will fit on the top crossbar. At a distance equal to the diameter of the ring above the bar, you need to fasten a self-tapping screw, 60 mm long, leaving 20 mm on the outside. Next, we attach a meter-long wire through the rings of the insulating fabric, parallel to the sheathing, and fix it with a self-tapping screw. We attach two springs to the left side of the door. On the contrary, we sew eyelets on them to the curtain. It is better to move the curtain behind the door. In this case, the canvas will not be covered with ice. The result is a high-quality thermal curtain for the front door.
Thermal curtain
To keep warm, you can take advantage of the achievements modern science. Or rather, use an electric thermal air curtain. This is a design that is an elongated metal body with grilles at the bottom and side. A fan heater is hidden under the housing, which sucks in cold air from the room, heats it and pushes it out under pressure. Warm air mass is evenly distributed inside the housing and creates a reliable thermal protection near front door or window opening.
Please note that thermal curtains and air curtains for openings are not an alternative to full heating. But as auxiliary tool to preserve heat in a room, it can be used quite successfully.
Thermal curtains for gates, as well as electric curtains, are often used in shops, garages, and all kinds of workshops, where there is a large flow of people passing through the doors during the day. If use electric curtain impossible for various reasons, you can use PVC curtains, strip or roll products on the doors. If plastic windows allow heat to pass out, electrical thermal curtain Can also be used above a window.
Summing up
If there is a need to prevent heat leakage through door or window openings, it is recommended to use thermal curtains.
Such designs are widely available for sale in finished form. Thermal curtains for doors and windows are made from PVC tapes, whole panels, or in the form of rolled products. Also, there are electric thermal air curtains, which will not only prevent heat loss from the room, but also decorate the interior design.

At many enterprises, the problem of energy saving arises due to constantly open doorways which they pass through vehicles and the staff passes by. Equipping openings with doors would be too inconvenient, especially since there is an excellent alternative - PVC curtains made of durable material.
Many enterprises and warehouse complexes are faced with the problem of maintaining comfortable temperature inside production and storage facilities, shops.
With the constant opening of doors and gates for the passage of personnel or the passage of equipment, an exchange of air occurs between the room and the street. IN winter time cold air enters the room and heating devices“warm the street”, and in summer heat Air conditioners do not cope with their tasks.
PVC curtains for gates. Thermal curtains
PVC curtains for gates – perfect solution For entrance gate. PVC gate curtains are installed for workshop gates, warehouse gates and Garage Doors. Silicone curtains for gates are safe and resistant to loads during the passage of small to small vehicles. PVC curtains for gates open only part of the opening, according to the size of the passing person or the load being moved. PVC curtains for gates do not require the driver to exit: the equipment simply drives through the PVC curtains, and the curtains on the gates almost instantly return to their original, vertical position and hermetically close the opening.
As practice has shown, strip curtains ( plastic pvc curtains, thermal curtains) can significantly save on energy consumption.
PVC strip curtains can be selected based on the following rule - the higher the opening, the greater the overlap (overlap of strips) and the width of the strip should be.
The price of PVC curtains depends on their type and width. You can order and buy PVC curtains from our company.

Types of PVC curtains
Depending on the type and purpose, PVC strip curtains are:
- smooth
- corrugated
- non-flammable
- with special impregnation that repels insects
— frost-resistant curtains for refrigeration chambers
Smooth strip PVC strip curtains are used for refrigeration chambers, doorways of shops and enterprises, separating work areas in enterprises - a transparent “wall” of curtains successfully performs the task of eliminating drafts, maintaining the necessary thermal conditions, sound insulation, and protects from dust, leaves and insects , transmits a sufficient amount of light. At the same time, it does not interfere with the free passage of personnel.
Corrugated PVC curtains have special stiffening ribs; they are recommended to be installed in the gate openings of enterprises and warehouses with a large flow of loading equipment. The ribs of the curtains are designed to eliminate the moment of “sticking” to the parts of forklifts and equipment, which happens with conventional curtains. The sliding resistance of such curtains, thanks to the longitudinal “ribs,” is minimal. The ribs of the curtains reduce the contact area, due to which friction is significantly reduced. In addition, the ribs of the curtains take the entire load on themselves, which allows the main part of the curtain to remain for a long time clean and without scratches. At the same time, such curtains quickly return to their original vertical position, closing and closing the opening.
PVC curtains for refrigeration and freezers

Not only clothes are warm, but also… curtains. The special “design” of such curtains allows you to literally insulate the windows and protect them from the penetration of cold air from the outside.
This is especially true for regions with cold climates. After all, no matter how high-quality the windows are, no matter how well the heating works, in frosty weather the window glass still blows cold. This creates discomfort if you are sitting nearby. And it reduces the energy efficiency of housing, which is mentioned in last years A lot is said - both from the point of view of saving money on heating, and in the light of the fight for the environment.

How to sew a warm curtain with your own hands? A simple master class will help you learn what is needed for this and in what sequence to build the process.
A simple recipe for warm curtains
As you know, the more layers, the warmer. This principle, which is valid for clothing, is also proposed to be used when creating warm curtains. They are made from several panels of fabric different types. It is important to follow the recommendations of specialists - then everything will definitely work out as it should.
You will need:
- material that will create a decorative layer; it can be any decorative fabric;
- material for the reverse side of the curtain (opaque); it can also be decorative;
- a special fabric that has the property of reflecting heat - something like felt; this will help make really warm curtains for the window.
Warm curtains for windows made from such materials will provide good protection from drafts and from the cold coming from the glass. You also need a regular needle, thread, scissors and a tailor's yardstick.
Taking measurements of future warm curtains
The first step in how to sew a warm curtain is to measure the window. You need to take measurements of its height and width. It is advised to do this carefully.
Warm curtains can be made different sizes. Usually their dimensions are the same as those of ordinary curtains: the length reaches the floor.
Having decided on the width and length of the curtains, you need to add another two centimeters to the allowances - on the decorative and backing fabrics. The heat-reflecting fabric is cut exactly to the size of the curtain.

Putting on the cover
Then the blanks are stacked with each other. First, decorative and opaque fabrics are placed one on top of the other so that the front surfaces are inside. The edges of the parts must match exactly.
Then on sewing machine lay a stitch at a distance of two centimeters from the edge along each edge. Turn the part inside out and iron the edges thoroughly.
Now you need to place heat-reflecting material in this “case”. This can be done in two ways: insert the fabric inside or put a “cover” on it, as is done with pillowcases and a pillow.
Warm curtains. Master Class
When this is done, the edges of this multi-layer “pie” are pinned along the front side and stitched around the perimeter.
Now you need to attach braid for hooks to the top of the curtain or decorate it in another way, for example, using eyelets or sewing loops, or do something else. Warm curtains for the windows with your own hands are ready.
