Heat reflective blinds: Stylish and energy saving!

On average, you lose up to 37% of your home's heat through the windows. Of course, with today's energy prices, you'd prefer this number to go down as far as possible. To achieve this, Smartblinds has heat reflective blinds in different shapes and types. For example, you have normal blackout window coverings, which in a sense already keep out sunlight and heat in the summer and in winter ensure that heat loss through the windows is reduced. There are also forms of insulated window blinds, where there is a focus on insulating functions in the design of the window blinds. These types of window coverings often contain a special coating that reflects sunlight and heat as much as possible. The coating also makes it harder for heat inside the home to find its way out through the windows. This clever addition to your window coverings will reduce your annual air conditioning and heating costs. We briefly explain which heat-reflective window coverings you can find in our assortment.

Smartblinds are a unique kind of heat reflective blinds. In fact, you can manage temperature even smarter. You can link Smartblinds smart window blinds to a smart thermostat, a smart weather station or a smart light sensor, for example. Let's briefly sketch a situation where you can save some heating costs:

It is winter. It's cold outside, but the sun is doing a good job of warming things up. You've connected your heat reflective blinds to your smart weather station. Through the Apple HomeKit app, you can set a trigger when your blinds open. Are your living room windows facing south and is the sun shining between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.? Then set that when this is the case your heat-reflecting blinds open automatically. This allows you to warm up the air in your home a little with sunlight, reducing the need for heating. Does the sun turn further, or does it get cloudy? Then set your heat-resistant window blinds to automatically close again, so no heat is lost through your windows.
