Having just moved into a new home I have first-hand experience of the draughts that whistle into a room from an unadorned window! Even the best performing windows lose five times as much heat through them as the same area of wall.
A quick and easy way to remedy this is to hang a thermal blind at the window.
The special backing on the rear of energy saving blinds keeps warmth in and cold out. It’s a win, win situation. The blinds look fantastic, transform the look of a room, radiators work less hard and energy bills fall. All this from the purchase of a blind!
We have two fabrics, Insutex and Thermatex. The Insutex fabric is plainly woven while the Thermatex fabric has a top stitched detail. With over 15 different colours and available as both roller and vertical blinds there are plenty of choices for keeping your home warm and cosy.

The colour green has a split personality it can be zesty or restful, traditional or uber modern, there really is a shade for all occasions. Here at Blinds 2go there’s a blind for all occasions too!
- If you want a simple look then a roller can’t be beaten, plus they have great functions, some are blackout, some water-proof and some are thermal and energy saving.
- If you need to really get in control of light and privacy then its a venetian or vertical blind plus verticals are particularly cost effective at large windows. (We have thermal and waterproof vertical blinds too.)
- If you want a soft look to echo the feel of curtains then choose a roman blind, of course these are fantastic in a bedroom if you choose a blackout lining.
Without further ado here we are. Of course there are heaps more green blinds at Blinds 2go just click the links above or below.

Is it too early to mention Valentine’s day? I wouldn’t suggest for a minute that a window blind would be an ideal gift for a loved one, it is however an ideal opportunity for us to feature red window blinds.
The colour red is fiery and passionate and not for the faint-hearted. It is however a great option for making a room feel warmer and will make a feature of any window area. The colour red will also lend itself well to a boy’s bedroom.
Remember we offer a free next day sample service, please take advantage of it and make sure that you get just the right shade of red. Enjoy your Valentine’s Day!

Available in a host of colours these blinds will help to keep you toasty this winter.
Happy St Andrew’s Day to all Scots at home and abroad!
Realising it was St Andrew’s day put me in mind of the colour blue. At Blinds 2go we sell cream blinds all day long, certainly brown, quite a bit of green but surprisingly the colour blue lags behind somewhat. Such a shame as we have some gorgeous blue blinds, from the lightest baby blue all the way through duck egg, turquoise, French and navy.
Maybe seeing the lovely collection here will inspire you to throw caution to the wind and incorporate some blue into your home!
