Heating bills, logs for the fire and buying extra blankets and coats, staying warm can add up to a big bill.
But there is one very handy and simple trick that many households may not know about and could be missing out on.
The fashional yet practically household feature of curtains also happens to be money-saving and according to experts, also keeps a house warm.
Do curtains keep heat in?
According to Harrisons Curtains & Blinds, the simple use of suitable curtains will ensure that your home stays warm and keeps your energy bill down.
Curtains are able to keep the heat in by reducing the amount of air exchanged between a window and a room.
How curtains can keep heat in
To make sure that heat stays in and curtains do their jobs, you’ll need higher quality curtains that are floor length and are both close to the wall and window.
Insulation from curtains will also depend on the fabric used in the curtains, as lightweight material will keep them warm but not as much as heavier and darker-coloured materials.
During the longer darker months it is also best to close curtains as soon as it begins to get dark.
