UK’s #1 Supplier of Shutters & Blinds 

Welcome to Shutters & Blinds – we’re a team of New Milton, and Salisbury shaped and motorisation specialists with more than 30 years of experience to our name. We offer a fantastic range of modern, traditional, and custom blinds, shutters, and patio awnings and canopies for residential and commercial customers. We’re an independent and local company committed to providing products that enhance our customers’ homes in more ways than one. 

Winter is coming, and with it, an inevitable hike in energy prices, impacted by current global events. Inflation is at a record high, and property owners are understandably concerned about what lies ahead. You need to keep warm, but heating your home will mean costly energy bills, so what can you do to stay comfortable while mitigating your costs slightly? 

One way is to install energy saving blinds, such as the ones we supply. All blinds are energy efficient as they help to regulate the temperature in our homes. A set of blinds could save up to 30% of the energy that would otherwise be lost through heating and cooling throughout the day (more on this below). 

And when you come to Shutters & Blinds, we’ll design a bespoke set of energy efficient blinds that’ll suit your décor down to the ground. What’s more, when you come to us with any genuine, like-for-like quote, we’ll beat it by 10%!

Thermal Energy Saving Blinds 

All energy efficient blinds are great at regulating temperature, and our thermal energy saving blinds are no exception. Heat transfer is much higher without window coverings where there is exposed glass, such as windows. Our blinds trap the air between them, acting as an insulator and reducing heat transfer. 

The amount of heat transfer is measured by the R-scale – the higher the value, the more effective the blinds are. Motorised energy efficient window shades are among the most effective, as many can be set to open and close during suitable hours, maximising the insulating benefits. 

Types of Energy Efficient Blinds We Offer 

We recognise that no two customers will necessarily have the same tastes or requirements, which is why we at Shutters & Blinds offer a wide range of energy efficient blinds. 

The options we have available include: 

• Roller Blinds 
• Blackout Roller Blinds 
• Roman Blinds 
• Bi-Fold Door Blinds 
• Vertical Blinds 

Energy Saving Roller Blinds   

Our energy saving roller blinds are a classic option that’s simple to use, highly efficient, and a joy to look upon. All our energy efficient blinds, including our roller blinds, are made locally, and installed by our highly trained installation specialists. These thermal energy saving blinds are easy to operate and fully cover the window, providing excellent insulating performance. 

Energy Efficient Blackout Roller Blinds  

Our energy efficient blackout roller blinds are the same as our roller blinds in all but one important detail – these blinds are designed with an added backing that creates a ‘blackout’ effect. In short, when closed, these blinds plunge the entire room into darkness, blocking out any light. These energy efficient window shades are perfect for keeping your bedroom warm and dark at night. 

Energy Efficient Roman Blinds  

Roman blinds are a popular option for the kitchen and living areas of the home, largely because of their gorgeous fabric-based pleated design. They are perfect for embellishing any window space, elevating aesthetics, and helping to reduce heat loss. You simply pull the cord, and you can adjust the blind level upwards or downwards as you desire. 

These energy efficient blinds are tailored to fit all manner of window sizes and come in a broad palette of colour tones with various fabric prints to suit any home. 

Energy Efficient Bi-Fold Door Blinds  

Because of how bi-fold doors open (concertina effect), regular blinds aren’t suitable. Bi-fold energy efficient blinds are individual units placed between the glass on each door section, rather than one single blind extending the length and width of the opening. Each blind is controlled either by a string or crank handle. 

The U-values of these blinds play a vital role in minimising heat loss and are designed with UV-resistant materials, so the blinds won’t fade or discolour. Conversely, in summer, these blinds, as with all blinds, can also help keep your home nice and cool. 

Energy Saving Vertical Blinds  

Vertical energy efficient blinds are blinds comprised of vertical lengths of fabric clipped to a sliding track at the top. A plastic wand hangs down, and this is twisted one way to open the slats, allowing in light, and the other way, to close them. The wand is pulled one way or another to slide the slats along the track. Weights in between ensure that the slats are always evenly spaced. 

Benefits of Energy Efficient Blinds 

With the colder months fast approaching and energy bills set to rise to astronomical levels, now has never been a better time to invest in thermal energy saving blinds. While you’ll still need to heat your home, covering your windows with blinds will help you ease off somewhat, saving you money and leaving you better off.  

If you’re still undecided, here are a few reasons why you need energy saving blinds: 

• Increases the Comfort of Your Home 
• Saves You Money 
• Blocks UV Rays 
• Boosts Your Property’s Market Value 
• Reduces Emissions 

That last point might be a little puzzling, but consider that with a set of insulating blinds, you’ll be using your heating less. Less heating used means fewer fossil fuels burned and fewer emissions released into the world. 

Other Shutters & Blinds Options we Offer  

In addition to the options listed above, we also supply and install a range of other energy efficient blinds, shades, and shutters, including: 

• Venetian 
• Conservatory 
• Roof Lantern
