Are UNITEC roller blinds insulated

This is a very divided debate on the Internet. Indeed, you can find websites, forums or blogs that will tell you that roller blinds can save energy because they are insulated.

However, you will also find websites that can tell you the opposite, and investing in rolling doors is wrong.

 

Different types of roller blind fabrics

If you want to install different types of roller blinds in your home, you must first choose a roller blind that suits your home and house environment. UNITEC’s polyester roller blinds or blackout roller blinds can meet your requirements.

Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and it all depends on your needs and your environment.

 

 

Aluminum roller blind

It consists of thin aluminum slats filled with insulating polyurethane foam.

However, aluminum is a thermally conductive material.

The only reason that makes it an insulating material is the presence of foam between the outer blade and the inner blade.

 

A thermal bridge is established between the two faces, which only means that insulation is not the point of aluminum roller blinds.

 

Advantages of aluminum roller blinds: strong and durable.

 

 

High quality PVC roller blind

PVC roller blinds are also made of a combination of high-material PVC and polyester. However, unlike aluminum roller blinds, it is filled with air instead of polyurethane foam. This is what makes it an insulated PVC roller blind, because although we can pass through, the air is still isolated.

 

There are two factors that make the rolling door in front of the window an insulating material: slats and air.

 

 

Insulation through home automation

In recent years, home automation at the level of rolling blinds and lighting has achieved great success in the home. In winter, the roller blinds are automatically programmed so that they can be automatically closed at 6 pm in the evening and cold. You guarantee that the heat loss of your house or apartment is minimal, thus saving energy.

 

Set the automatic blind to close between 12pm and 3pm, or when your house is most exposed to sunlight. Therefore, you will maintain a certain degree of freshness in it.

 

This is an investment, but it is a benefit in terms of convenience and energy saving.
