Home Bargains is offering the Alan Symonds Palace Blackout Curtains for £14.99, an affordable way for shoppers to keep rooms warmer, save energy and reduce winter heating bills.
The curtains are available in stores and online in two colours, charcoal or silver, and are part of the retailer's range of 'winter warmer' essentials, which also includes thermal clothing, hot water bottles and plug-in electric heaters.
Triple-Weave Technology Blocks Heat Loss
According to the product description, the curtains use innovative triple weave technology to block out 85-95% of sunlight and UV rays. The dense, multi-layered fabric creates a thermal barrier at the window, trapping a layer of air between the cold pane and the living space when drawn at sunset.
This pocket of air acts as extra insulation, stopping heat from escaping and blocking chilly drafts. The curtains also have thermal and noise-reducing qualities, with Home Bargains stating they help keep homes warm in winter, saving energy and lowering bills.
Low-Cost Alternative to Major Upgrades
While double glazing or wall insulation can cost thousands of pounds, these £15 curtains offer an instant, low-cost alternative. By retaining more heat, rooms stay warmer for longer, meaning central heating does not have to work as hard, which can noticeably reduce overall energy consumption and lead to lower gas or electricity bills over the winter months.
The curtains are fitted with an eyelet ring top heading for use on a curtain pole, with a matching cushion cover available. Sizes include 46"x52", 66"x72", 66"x90" or 90"x90".
Retailer's Liverpool Roots
Home Bargains was founded in Liverpool in 1976 by Tom Morris, with his first store in Old Swan. Originally named "Home and Bargain", a title many locals still use, the company rebranded to Home Bargains in 1995. Its global headquarters and distribution centre remain in Gillmoss, Liverpool.
