With colder weather starting to reach some of our homes and hot weather in other parts of the country, we begin to think about ways to keep our homes warmer or cooler. Most of these added home improvements will help us to save on our heating and cooling bills. An excellent source of improving the comfort in our homes are window coverings.  Thermal curtain panels are one of the best ways to keep the cold or heat out of our homes, depending on what climate you live in. These thermal curtains are available in many different fabrics and colors and are often sold by panel prices or probably more often sold by the pair.

At the lower end of the cost spectrum, the cheap curtain panels range from $12.99 to $29.99 per panel or in some stores per pair. Then at the higher end of the cost spectrum, modern curtain panels may be about $21.99 to $89.99. Some of these thermal draperies come with a blackout curtain lining that keeps out all outside light. There are also thermal insulated drapes that are called ‘hotel weight insulated curtains', with an insulated durable foam back lining. These are more of a cotton-look fabric made to last and recommended for motels and hotels.

There are also thermal backed iridescent type curtains in pairs that will nicely update your home décor and are designed in faux silk fabric. These thermal curtain panels have a rod pocket for easy hanging from a decorative rod. The foam backed lining blocks sunlight and lowers energy costs. As with most thermal insulated drapes, they are available in 63-inch and 84-inch lengths for a set of two and each panel is 52-inches wide.
