Did you know that a great deal of heat can escape from your home through the windows? One of the ways to prevent this, according to New Zealand's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA), is to use and install the right curtains and blinds.


Let's find out how you can make your home feel more cosy with our range of curtains, shutters and blinds.

Use curtains correctly to prevent heat escaping
Drapes are no substitute for quality double glazing, but they can certainly make a big difference to the efficiency of your indoor heating. According to the EECA, properly-installed curtains reduce heat loss through single glazed windows by up to 60 per cent and through double glazed windows by up to 50 per cent.

The best products to use are curtains with an acrylic coating painted on the back of the curtain fabric, which serves as an additional insulating layer. Our range of readymade thermal curtains and blackout curtains are ideal.


If you don't quite have the budget to buy brand new drapes, you can affix detachable curtain linings to the back of your existing pencil pleat curtains for the same insulating effect.

From the elegance of a little black dress to the ominous omen of a black cat, from the authority of a karate black belt to solemn black mourning attire, this dark hue has long been an astonishing source of contradiction and intrigue. We take a look at the history of black.

Is black even a colour?

Ask a child with a crayon, and you’ll be told that black is most certainly a colour – probably with some interesting examples! Ask a scientist, and you’ll be told that black is the absence of colour, and that a black object absorbs all colours and reflects none back to be seen.


To this day, there is no actual black dye used commonly in textiles. The look of black is achieved with a combination of dark blues, purples and ochre tones – you can see this by dipping the nib of a black marker pen in water. The resulting bloom of diluting watery dye will be a fascinating swirl of dark purple, blue or brown.
