A warmer home starts at the window

Windows are one of the biggest sources of heat loss in New Zealand homes. The right curtains and blinds help keep warmth inside, reduce draughts, and make your home more comfortable through winter.

At Lewis’s, we create layered window furnishing solutions designed for Wellington homes - combining warmth, light control, privacy and style.

Each month New Zealanders are faced with a stack of bills they have to pay to keep their household running, and as winter arrives, the dreaded electricity bill can often cause our household costs to skyrocket. In the common New Zealand household, over one third of the energy bill is attributed to keeping our homes warm. However, according to New Zealand’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA), over 600,000 New Zealand homes have inadequate insulation, resulting in all of this heat being lost through our roofs, walls and windows. 

INSULATING CURTAINS

Quality curtains with thermal linings help trap warmth inside while adding softness and texture to your home. For the best performance, curtains should:

• Extend close to the floor
• Include quality thermal linings
• Fit generously across the window
• Minimise gaps where possible

Lewis’s offers a wide range of fabrics, linings and styles to suit every home.

KINETICS CELLULAR BLINDS

Kinetics Cellular Blinds use a honeycomb design that traps air inside the blind to help reduce heat transfer through windows. They’re ideal for:

• Older homes
• Bedrooms and living areas
• Large windows
• Layering behind curtains

Available in light-filtering and blockout options.

THE BEST RESULT? LAYERING

For maximum warmth and comfort, combine lined curtains with cellular blinds. Layering creates multiple insulating barriers while giving you flexibility with privacy, light and style.
