Introduction
Canadian winters are beautiful but harsh. While the snow outside may be picturesque, the cold air and high heating costs are a real challenge for homeowners. One often-overlooked way to stay cozy and reduce energy bills is by choosing the right blinds. In this post, we’ll explore the best blinds for Canadian winters and how they can help insulate your home.
1. Why Blinds Matter in Winter
Windows are responsible for up to 30% of heat loss in a home. Standard curtains or low-quality blinds don’t provide enough insulation. High-quality, custom blinds create a barrier that prevents heat from escaping and cold air from seeping in.
