Some may think that these blinds are the same type of blind but just have a different name. In fact, they are two different types of blinds. The one difference is in the way that they are fitted to the window. Thermacell blinds are designed to fit tightly into the window jam to enhance the room darkening and insulating properties of this type of blind. The thermal blinds are cut to fit any sliding door or window for a perfect fit. They are installed to an existing sash box or frame so they are loose fitting. Both are insulated, making them energy-efficient blinds.
Thermacell Blinds
With this type of blind, the insulation is achieved by trapping a still layer of air in the honeycomb fabric. This helps to create an effective barrier between the interior and exterior of your home. The still layer of air reduces heat transfer, which will save you money on your electric bill in the winter and summer.
In the winter, the thermacell blinds will help to keep the heat in your house to create a drier, healthier, and warmer home. The heater will run at a lower temperature for less time. In the summer, when the blinds are down, it will help to reduce the amount of heat that enters your home so this reduces how long your air conditioner has to run.
They come in a variety of fabric options from sheer, semi-opaque, light-filtering, and room darkening. They are also flame resistant and give you day and night privacy. One plus with this blind is that it offers a child-friendly safety option with its cord-loop and cordless system. They are perfect for bedrooms, skylights, living rooms, studies, dens, and more.
Thermal Blinds
This blind helps to reduce the loss of cooling or heat in your home. Thermal blinds can also help to remove down drafts from the windows. These blinds are made from a flexible fabric that has a lot of insulating layers. They can also block out any outside light to give you comfort and privacy. They will also help to keep the temperature comfortable inside your home.
With the amount of insulation they offer, they will help to reduce the amount of heat coming into the home during the summer and to keep the heat from seeping out during the winter. They come in a variety of styles and materials, from light filtering to room darkening. These are perfect for your bedroom, living room, den, and more.
Conclusion
Both of these blinds have some similar features but the main differences are in how they are installed and where you can use them. Thermacell cannot be used on sliding glass doors due to how they are installed. If you are looking for insulating blinds to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, reducing the wear and tear on your furnace and air conditioner, either of these would be a good choice. Both also come in a variety of styles and materials.
