Does your loft bedroom seem to get colder than the rest of your home?
It's something many homeowners notice once the temperature starts dropping.
While roof windows are brilliant for bringing natural light into loft conversions, they also create an area where heat can escape more readily than through the surrounding insulated roof.
One option worth considering is a VELUX Blackout Energy Pleated Blind.
Unlike an ordinary blackout roller blind, its honeycomb fabric has an aluminium-coated structure designed to improve insulation at the window.
It's an especially useful combination for bedrooms because you get two benefits from one blind: additional insulation on cold nights and excellent blackout when you want to sleep.
A useful tip for autumn and winter is to make the most of any sunshine during the day, then close the blinds as evening approaches to help retain warmth.
