Curtain Considerations
Selecting the perfect curtains for your windows can transform your home and reflect your personal style. In creating the desired look for your curtains, there are a few things to consider: the design, colour and texture of the fabric; the required functionality of the lining: the style of heading to finish the curtains, the type of track or rod used and how you wish to operate them.
With more than 40 years’ experience and a passion for beautiful window solutions, Lahood is here to guide you every step of the way on your journey to elegant windows.

Importance of Curtain Lining
Most curtains and roman blinds are hung with lining either attached to the curtain or on a second track to help block light, retain heat, reduce noise, and generally protect the curtain fabric. We offer the Protection Plus by Lahood range of linings which all come with a 3 Year Warranty. The Protection Plus Range feature:
• Armourguard: a triple coated Blockout lining often used in bedrooms where light control, plus insulation is important. Popular with roman blinds.
• InsulPro: a single coated Thermal Lining providing heat and noise insulation and some degree of light control (less than the Armourguard). Suitable for lounges and dining areas where light control isn’t a priority and which have only single glazing on windows.
• Serenity: an uncoated lining suitable for most curtains, offering protection for the curtain fabric, but less light and thermal control than the above coated options. Often used in living areas with double-glazing.
Well-fitted curtains can reduce heat loss in a room by up to around 50% especially if a quality lining is used.
Curtain Pleat Styles
Beyond your fabric’s colour and pattern, your curtain's "heading style’ (the pleats at the top and how it attaches to the rod or track) has a big impact in shaping the overall finished look and feel. Explore our diverse heading options and discover which style will reflect your unique style.
