How Thermal Roller Blinds Keep Your Home Warm

How Thermal Roller Blinds Keep Your Home Warm

How do thermal roller blinds keep your home warm? By installing thermal roller blinds, you could add another layer of insulation to your home. It’s particularly useful to install thermal roller blinds if you have old windows or doors that can let energy escape your home. Your blinds will be able to make your property warmer at a much lower cost than a glazing or full window replacement!

With thermal roller blinds, you’ll get thermal protection for your home you can control. When the weather is colder, you can pull your blinds down to prevent heat transfer in your home. Your blinds will cover the glazing in your windows and doors and reflect not only cold air but hot air as well. Because of this, thermal roller blinds can keep your home cool as well as warm.

At Easyfit, we know how good thermal roller blinds can be to keep your home warm. And, with our wide range of durable, hard-wearing designs created at our manufacturing base by expert craftspeople, we can offer blinds that do that job and so much more. Our blinds are fully customisable, affordable, and delivered to your door. Get in touch with Easyfit today, and fit thermal roller blinds to keep your home warm with ease.

Thermal Roller Blinds Insulation

Roller blinds work by coming down across the whole aperture of your window or door. When you pull them down, the fabric design slides downward to fill the whole design, meaning no gaps are left for cold air to get around. Additionally, the fabric itself can either absorb or reflect heat energy. Because of this, roller blinds are practical for home and commercial uses and effective for insulating your living space as well.

Our roller blinds come made-to-measure your home to provide complete thermal protection. And, when the weather is colder, your blinds will prevent cold air from passing through your glazing and into your home. Additionally, thermal roller blinds can keep your home warm by preventing hot air from escaping. As a result, you’ll be able to capture more of your property’s natural heat.

So, with thermal roller blinds, you can keep your home warm throughout the year. And, because they can reflect heat away, you could also keep your home cool on hot summer days. You’ll be able even to reduce your energy bills. You’ll save money and decrease your carbon footprint as well. When your home is comfortable, you won’t even have to have your blinds pulled down either!

Thermal Roller Blinds Solar Gain

We’ve seen how thermal roller blinds can keep your home warm. However, they can keep your home comfortable in any condition. On hot summer days, some windows and doors can allow excess sunlight to enter your home. Not only does this allow harmful UV rays into your living space, potentially causing harm to carpets and furniture, but this can create solar gain as well.

Solar gain occurs when light reflects off of glass, creating an uncomfortably bright sunspot that can be blinding. As a result, solar gain can make your living space not only hotter but more difficult to use comfortably. However, our thermal roller blinds keep your home cool by reducing the warm sunlight entering your home and preventing it from reflecting off the glass. So, when you use your living space with your thermal roller blinds down, you’ll be able to see without any issues.

You can also reduce the amount of light that enters your living space with thermal roller blinds by reducing solar gain. Roller blinds are made-to-measure, meaning they can allow almost no light in if you don’t want to. As a result, these blinds achieve a blackout effect, perfect for shutting the world out. So, if you have trouble sleeping or just want some quiet, our thermal roller blinds do so much more than keep your home warm.

Thermal Roller Blinds Fabric

Another of the reasons our thermal roller blinds keep your home warm so well is down to the fabric. At Easyfit, all of our thermal roller blinds come with specialised fabrics that are designed to keep your home warm for years to come. Our durable, hard-wearing fabric design won’t wear down, fray or fade. Because of this, you can pick a bold design in confidence, knowing it won’t lose its shine.

However, you can also invest in our thermal roller blinds while knowing they’ll always perform at their best. Because the fabric is so resilient, gaps won’t emerge that cold air could exploit to enter your home. Not only that, the fabric won’t weaken or become thinner, meaning the insulating properties of your thermal roller blinds are retained. And, by reducing solar gain with thermal roller blinds, you’ll also be able to keep your home cool as well as warm.

With Easyfit’s thermal roller blinds, you’ll be able to keep your home warm whenever you need to. And, with our free UK delivery service, you can get them quickly and affordably. Our thermal roller blinds come to your door made-to-measure and made by experts, too, meaning you’ll always get a high-quality design.

Case Study: Bradley Hall Head Office

Case Study: Bradley Hall Head Office

Custom Branded Roller Blinds for Bradley Hall’s Grey Street HQ

Client: Bradley Hall
Location: Grey Street, Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Commercial Property
Scope: Custom Branded and Non-Branded Roller Blinds Across Two Floors
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time, Within 2 Weeks

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install a combination of branded and non-branded roller blinds for Bradley Hall’s stunning new head office on Newcastle’s iconic Grey Street. The blinds not only enhance the aesthetic of the new space, but also provide practical year-round comfort.


What the Client Needed

As the building is listed, Bradley Hall were unable to use external signage to display their brand identity. They needed an interior solution that would subtly represent their brand in a stylish, professional way, while still providing effective solar shading and heat retention.


The Challenge

  • No external signage permitted due to the heritage status of the building.
  • No parking for unloading equipment.
  • 4-metre-high windows requiring specialist ladder access.
  • Narrow spiral staircases, making it difficult to manoeuvre materials without damaging freshly decorated walls and doors.

The client also required a rapid turnaround ahead of moving into their new space.


How We Overcame It

Our team designed and manufactured a blend of branded and non-branded roller blinds, ensuring a cohesive look across two floors. The installation required exceptional care and expertise to work safely within the constraints of a heritage building.

Despite the logistical hurdles, we delivered the entire project from initial enquiry to completion in under 2 weeks, meeting Bradley Hall’s deadlines without compromising on quality.


The Result

The finished installation delivered:

  • Stylish integration of Bradley Hall’s branding into the new office.
  • Effective shading and thermal control for year-round comfort.
  • Seamless delivery within a limited timeframe.
  • A high-quality installation, despite the challenges of restricted access and building constraints.

Client Feedback

“Huge thanks to you and the team Kevin! Fantastic service from start to finish, quick turnaround and quality product and installation. They look great!”

– Sharon Boyd, Chief Operating Officer, Bradley Hall North East / Yorkshire


The Bigger Picture

This project demonstrates our ability to combine branding, design, and practicality, even in heritage or conservation-area buildings where signage is restricted. It also underlines our expertise in overcoming complex site challenges and delivering under tight time pressures.

40 Custom Tension Pleated Blinds for Newcastle Airport Control Tower

Client: Newcastle International Airport
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Aviation – Air Traffic Control
Scope: 40 Bespoke Tension Pleated Blinds
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install 40 custom tension pleated blinds for Newcastle International Airport’s Air Traffic Control Tower. This wasn’t a straightforward job – the tower’s unique architecture and operational restrictions made it one of the most complex installations we’ve ever delivered.


What the Client Needed

The brief was simple but critical: shading and light control in an environment where visibility is paramount. The blinds needed to perform flawlessly to reduce glare, enhance comfort, and maintain clear sightlines for air traffic controllers at all times.


The Challenge

The tower’s design created a unique technical challenge: the windows are narrower at the top than the bottom. This meant the blinds had to operate in reverse, raising issues with tension and stability. Getting them to stay in place was no small feat.


How We Overcame It

Our team engineered a bespoke solution using:

  • Maximum tension throughout each blind system
  • Reinforced top bars for durability
  • Discreet magnetic strips to keep blinds secure

We worked closely with the client throughout, being completely transparent about the technical hurdles. To build confidence, we produced working samples that were tested and signed off before full manufacture began.


Working in a Live Air Traffic Control Tower

This wasn’t just a technical project – it was also about precision planning. Working in one of the UK’s busiest control towers meant strict security measures:

  • All staff were vetted and security checked
  • Passports had to be presented at each entry
  • Access was tightly restricted and visits limited

To meet these requirements, we planned every step of the installation around an agreed programme of works, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and minimal disruption to airport operations.


The Result

The new blinds have transformed the tower environment, delivering:

✅ Glare reduction
✅ Improved visibility for controllers
✅ Greater comfort in a high-pressure workplace

The client praised not only the quality of the finished product but also our communication, professionalism, and how smoothly the installation was managed.


The Bigger Picture

This project highlights our ability to deliver bespoke blind solutions for even the most complex environments. From innovative design to meticulous project management, we can adapt to buildings where standard systems simply won’t work.


Ready for the Next One

If you’ve got a project that demands a tailored shading solution – whether it’s an airport, a commercial office, or a uniquely shaped building – we’ve got the expertise to deliver.

Get in touch with our team today to discuss how we can design, manufacture, and install blinds that meet your exact requirements.
