This attractive, flexible, innovative blind is a top seller in stylish homes around the world. Its popularity throughout Europe, America and New Zealand is based not only on its exceptional looks but the insulating properties it offers you.
Thermacell Blinds are designed to fit tightly into your window jamb. This enhances both the insulating and room darkening properties of the blind.

In Winter the blind serves to keep heat in your home creating a warmer, drier, healthier home for you and your family. Your heater will run at lower temperatures for less time and your power bills will drop.
If you leave the blinds down in Summer they reduce the amount of heat entering your home thereby decreasing the time your air-conditioner needs to run. The design of the slim colour
The design of the slim colour co-ordinated aluminium headrail combined with the crisp pleated fabric means that this blind will have minimal visual impact in your window or door when it is lifted.
