When the environment is a major player in your decisions around the home, it’s comforting to know there are options available for eco-friendly window furnishings.

In this article, we’re discussing the best eco-friendly window furnishings in Brisbane & the Gold Coast and how they’ll help you minimise your environmental impact.

Finding Renewable Materials for Your Blinds

Products made from renewable resources are known for their quality and lifespan. When you avoid plastics in your window furnishings, you’re minimising the chances of adding to landfill. On average, plastic takes 1,000 years to break down in landfill, whereas timber products are recyclable. At Modern Blinds, we have a timber options available in shutters and blinds.

Timber Eco Shutters

Abachi is an environmentally sustainable alternative to basswood, typically seen as the lightest weight hardwood. You can choose from a range of stains to perfectly suit your home.)

Insulation and Reduced Energy Usage

The most important part of choosing sustainable products is knowing they are of a high enough quality to last for many years to come. Studies have found that homes lose about 30% of their heating through uncovered windows. All window coverings from Modern Blinds will reduce your home’s energy loss through the windows which, in turn, lowers your heating and cooling costs.

You can make your curtains and blinds work for you throughout the year by strategically opening and closing them to suit the external temperature. On sunny winter’s days, open your blinds and allow the morning sun to work its magic. In summer, keep sun-facing window coverings closed to reduce heat gain, working with your desired amount of natural light.
