Reduce heat loss through windows
How to improve thermal insulation at your windows
During the cold winter months, a great deal of heating energy is lost through the windows. However, honeycomb pleated blinds can help you save energy effectively by improving the thermal insulation of your windows and significantly reducing heat loss through them.

Less heat loss through windows: the power of honeycomb pleated blinds
The secret of honeycomb pleated blinds lies in the two folded layers of fabric, which are connected to form honeycombed chambers. The air pockets inside insulate your windows and thus reduce heat loss through them. Even in modern homes, windows are the building’s thermal weak spots, where a great deal of heat energy is lost. This makes your honeycomb pleated blinds an efficient way to save energy!
Save on heating costs in winter with honeycomb pleated blinds
The special honeycomb shape of honeycomb pleated blinds helps you retain heating warmth in your room during the cold winter months while preventing cold air from entering from outside. The Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics analysed the effect of interior privacy and sun protection systems and found that thermal resistance increases by between 0.04 and 0.35 (m²K)/W. Heat loss through the windows can therefore be reduced by up to 49%. The lower a window’s insulation value, for example in an older building, the greater the energy-saving effect of the thermal insulation properties of honeycomb pleated blinds.
YOUR PERSONAL SUN PROTECTION CHECKLIST:
Living room:
- Do you have large windows and patio doors in your living room?
- How strong are the sunlight and room temperatures on sunny days?
- Our tip: Use patio awnings and window awnings, depending on the circumstances.
Bedroom:
- Do you like sleeping in darkened rooms?
- Would you like to protect your bedroom from overheating during the day so that you can relax at night at pleasant temperatures?
- Our tip: Roller blinds with a reflective surface can reflect sunlight and darken the room.
Loft:
- Does your loft heat up in summer?
- Our tip: Thanks to their construction, honeycomb pleated blinds help regulate the temperature and prevent tropical temperatures under the roof – without spending money on expensive fans and air-conditioning systems!
Conservatory:
- How high do temperatures rise in your conservatory?
- Can you use it all year round?
- Our tip: Special conservatory awnings protect your favourite room exactly as you wish – whether with an underglass awning or an overglass awning.
Workspace and home office:
- Are you affected by glare when working at your computer?
- Do you see reflections on your monitor?
- Our tip: Pleated blinds can be adjusted flexibly in height and individually adapted to the position of the sun.
Smart home:
- Are you often away from home?
- Do you enjoy the benefits of controlling your smart home from anywhere?
- Do you like creating timers and automations for your smart devices?
- Our tip: With motorised sun protection, you have complete freedom to control your sun protection remotely, automate it or have it controlled directly according to temperature and sun sensors.
