Curtains act as your windows insulation, maintaining a buffer between the heat contained in your house, and an outside colder temperature, that can easily seep into your home via weak spots that promote a draft. Not only are window spaces essentially, a hole in the wall to the outside, but that hole has been filled by a relatively thin hard surface in comparison to the thickness, and insulation the wall around it provides. A curtain is a wonderful way to keep your space warmer, especially if you have a large window.

How do you keep sunlight out of a room?

block out curtains - home depot or lowes.....have in all my windows...one pair (for a single window) is about $25.00. Simple to "hang" and very effective in summer and winter. Our house faces north and 6 windows on that side and keeps rooms warm throughout the cold winter nights in northern south carolina. South side of house has 14 windows and the block out curtains keep all the rooms considerably cooler with the high 90's temperatures during the summer months. Effective and affordable solution to maintaining house temperature throughout the year.
