Buying Curtains: From Measuring To Ordering
The walls are painted, the furniture is arranged, new lamps are on walls and ceilings, there is just one last touch left – curtains. It seems like, what is difficult about it? You come to a store, buy what you like, hang it up and enjoy. However not everything is that simple, and those of you who already faced this issue would agree.
Do you know that significant portion of your expenses on heating and air-conditioning, as well as entire home atmosphere depends on your choice of curtains? Hang up weightless sheers, and the room will be filled with lightness; heavy jacquard drapes will make your interior cozier; silk window covering, festively glittering in glare of the sun, will create an atmosphere of elegance and luxury.
But that is not all there is to it. The design of curtains is important also: successful combination of fabric color and texture will highlight your exquisite taste, while ordinary, picked at random window coverings can bring to naught all the look of your home. Therefore before going shopping, we encourage you to consider some things, which will simplify your choice. What are they?
We'll start from taking measurements.
1. First we measure the width across from the left edge of the window / door frame to the right edge to choose the needed curtains width; then we measure the height from the floor to the ceiling for determining the right drapes' length. At the same time we decide how wide a rod we will need.
2. If you do not have a rod yet, and you wish to pick it based on the design of the curtains you'll choose, note in advance the positions of the pipes, radiators, wires, etc. to avoid damaging them during mounting the rod.
Three main types of curtain rods exist: round rod, flat lock-seam rod and traverse rod. Traverse rod is designed for pinch pleated drapes. Lock seam rods will work with light weight rod pocket curtains, like sheers. Decorative round rods will work for virtually any draperies. It also good to remember that heavy drapes may make the rod sag, so you will be better off to stay away from lock seam, extendible and wooden rods, and to prefer stronger rods like metal ones and have a bracket mounted in the middle (if you look for a pair of drapes).
3. We measure all prominent structures which can affect our choice, like pipes sticking out, radiators and other things like that.
That's all with measurements, so now we will move on to choosing the curtains themselves.
1. While choosing the fabric, not only notice its texture and care instructions, like "washable" vs. "dry clean", but also, please, consider its length and width as it can be very different: lengthwise one curtain may touch the floor, another may not quite reach it.
Also, please, pay attention to the width: having extra width will allow tab, grommet and rod pocket curtains to have more waves and make them look more attractive. Having not enough width across is a problem, because you will not be able to cover your entire window width.
While making your selection it is also important to consider that grommet drapes cannot be stretched to their full width, so they need to be at least 20% wider than the opening you want to cover. On each grommet curtain product description page we specify maximum width they can accommodate.
2. Next we consider the color. Designers advise to choose curtains color that has something in common with your interior decor: furniture, walls or decorative elements. Ordering free fabric samples will help immensely in that respect.
3. Curtains are intended not just for decor: their primary purpose is to provide privacy and to protect your home from extreme outside temperatures, as well as to diffuse or block the light. So do not forget about it. That is why choose the option which can both achieve the main purpose and highlight uniqueness of your room appearance.
4. You might want to choose practical option of washable window coverings. Though they are washed not too often, nevertheless at least once in a while they will need to be freshened up. To carry the curtains to a dry-cleaner each time is quite inconvenient and pricy; therefore you might want to choose more practical fabrics which can be easily washed. Some washable fabrics (first of all cotton) shrink. So you need to be aware of it and include the shrinkage into your calculations.
It is not that difficult to pick curtains for traditional rectangular windows, but if you have irregular shape windows in your house, it may be better to invite a designer who will guide you in the process and help you to decide how to make the right choice and to highlight the beauty of your window.
Finally, getting beautiful insulated curtains on our website will not only provide excellent addition and unique touch to your interior, but will also help you to save considerably (like 40%) on your electric or gas bill and help your family budget. We invite you to stop by our online Thermal Window Curtains store, where we have a Sale going on now on all the products.

ThermalWindowCurtians.com Newsletter – January 2014
Dear Valued Customers and Friends,In this newsletter you will find out about:
· Is it true that the thicker the insulation is the better?
· New styles - ThermaSheer and ThermaVoile Insulated Curtains
· 7% Off Sale on all the products
Many people think that the thicker the layer of insulation the better it insulates. It is not necessarily true. Why? We need to understand there are two kinds of heat and they require different ways to control them. We will illustrate by a common experience.
The day is cold and clear. You go outside and feel a cold breeze on your face. The breeze stops and you are facing the sun. Now you feel heat from the sun. The temperature has not changed. You first felt cold now you feel heat. Those are the two different kinds of heat - "radiant heat" from the sun and "conducted" heat from the air.
The cool breeze is taking heat away from your body by a process of conduction. The sun is heating your skin by a process of radiation. The sun is always radiating huge amounts of energy/ heat. It keeps our planet from freezing. There is no air in outer space to conduct that heat. Radiant heat is also called "infra-red heat".
The national building code now requires builders to install windows with what is called "low E" glass. That glass is designed to reflect a significant amount of the radiant heat from the sun. It is also designed to reflect radiant heat from our bodies and other warm objects back into the room so it is not lost on cold days.
Insulators are designed to stop or slow down the movement of heat by conduction/air. Most of them are very poor at stopping radiation. We are used to insulators like blankets, quilts and heavy clothing. They do not stop radiation of energy.
Before we were introduced to a product called a "space blanket" most of us believed that the thicker the insulation the better. "Space blanket" was developed for NASA. It is thin and looks a bit like a tarpaulin. It works very well for both radiant heat and conducted heat control. This technology has been adapted in the cold weather clothing industry and advertised as "Thinsulate" and is also used in Thermalogic and Insulated curtains.
Thermalogic insulated curtains use a very thin vapor barrier which blocks water vapor from penetrating the curtain and thermal energy from passing through the curtain. The apparent thinness of the insulation coating in curtains is no measure of their insulating value. The insulating liner acts as a vapor barrier, that is its primarily purpose. This way it can control temperature changes. Water vapor is a powerful force for moving heat or cold from a window to the inside of the house. A thicker coating does not contribute to the insulating value. In fact, a thicker coating has proven to be more likely to be damaged in use, ultimately defeating the purpose of insulation.
Insulated curtains use the technology of blocking air penetration through the curtain to create an improved insulation effect in a fabric curtain while retaining the beautiful look we all want.
A certain amount of "breathability" is necessary for insulation in houses or they will actually "sweat" resulting in structural problems. This is not a problem for curtains because they usually still have some air circulation around them.
Visual impressions do not indicate the level of insulation effect. So do not judge the book by its cover. Enjoy the beauty and benefits of Thermal Curtains!
Do you want curtains that let the light through, keep out cold and look great doing it? With the Thermavoile Rhapsody Lined Grommet Top Curtains, you don't have to choose between beauty and function. Each panel brings a soft shade to your window and drapes gracefully from top to bottom. It takes just seconds to slip the top grommets on a rod and hang the curtain in the window. And once it's there, you'll get to see its elegant color and feel its smooth, sturdy fabric every day. The filtered light that comes through will instantly give the room a soft romantic look.

Failure to Consider this Information may cause Problems
There are three major issues in choosing the right curtain(s) for you room: Color, Size and Light Blocking / Penetrating.
Color
When an order of curtain products of the same color fabric goes into production, those products are made from the same bolt of fabric. Different bolts of fabrics of the same color may have subtle color differences because of new die lot used by fabric manufacturers in every new bolt. No fabric is kept in our factory to guarantee a match up a color shade to previous orders.
So if you by any chance decide to order curtains for the same room separately, there is a possibility that the color of your second order will not perfectly match to the color of the curtain products from you first order, though they will be close.
Some people do not care or notice the difference in those color shades, but there are others who want a perfect match of colors. Thus a wise move is: to acquire curtains for the same room all together at the same time to be sure that their colors match perfectly.
Size
Carefully measure your windows (patio door) before choosing the size of drapes for them. You want your drapes to fit your window or patio door, not to be too short or too narrow.
Here are guidelines to follow depending on the design of the drapes you are looking for:
The main rule for Tab Top and Rod Pocket curtains is that their width must be 1.5 to 3 times wider than your window width. For Pinch Pleated drapes: the width of your window/patio door/drapery rod is about the width of the drape(s) you would need. You may add up to 12 inches to the width if you want the drapes to overlap in the middle and to wrap around the end of a traverse rod.
Please, keep in mind that we can also shorten the length of many thermal curtains and drapes. The curtains that we can make shorter have this information on the product description page.
Light vs. dark room
Before ordering, it is advisable for you to decide how much outside light you want to be blocked by the curtains and /or how much of the light you want to go through, which will make your room lighter, when the drapes are closed at daytime.
Rule of thumb is: the darker color of the curtains, the more light they block and the darker they will make your room.
To be more specific: The lighter colors, which allow light to go through the most (from the lightest to the darkest, in sequence) are White, Natural, Wheat (Fireside style) and all the colors of Andrea Toile Style (Sage, Wedgewood and Bordeaux).
Medium light blocking ability has Linen (Floral), and a little more dark is Red (Fireside style).
The most light blocking and darkening effects are (from the lightest to the darkest, in sequence) Sage, Blue, Plaid, Bordeaux, Chocolate (Brown) and Navy Blue (Fireside).
Machine Washable Vs Dry Cleaning
Please, notice, that some curtains on our website are machine washable (Crosby thermal, Madrid and Lexington Sheer curtains), for others (Fireside, Springfield, Andrea Toile thermal, Astonish Lined) Dry Cleaning in recommended by the fabric manufacturers.
Thank you for visiting our website and we wish you pleasant shopping experience.
