Approximately 35% of heat loss occurs through the walls and gaps around windows and doors. At Winser and Hill , we frequently work on older properties ; charming and beautiful but sometimes very draughty. We would recommend interlined curtains for doors and windows; as well as giving a glorious sumptuous look, it helps exclude drafts and prevent heat loss. Depending on the space, door curtains can be fixed with a simple dormer rod, curtain pole or portiere rod. As the photograph suggests, the curtain can be finished in a variety of styles such as contrast lining, valence or gathered heading or the more formal hand pleating.
