Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

When you choose curtains for your home, you’re probably thinking about selecting appealing colors and materials, but there’s one other factor you might want to consider: insulation value.

Windows are kind of nice, since they allow in sunlight and all, but they can be big sources of energy drain, too–especially older single-pane windows. By installing insulated curtains, you can keep more heat in during the winter (as well as cool, air conditioned air in the summer).

These top-tab curtain panels have heavy-duty sueded liners that increase their insulation value and can help you save some money on your energy bills.

Starting around $50 at Gaiam.
