Welcome to our little corner of Falmouth, your go-to made to measure blinds and curtains shop in Cornwall! At Cornish Curtains we understand the importance of creating a warm and inviting home, especially during the cold months. Thats why today, we want to shed some light on a crucial element in your window treatments: interlining. Specifically, we'll be exploring the benefits of bump interlining and how it can keep your heating costs down while enhancing the drape of your curtains and the beauty of your space.


First things first, why should you consider custom-made curtains? Well, when you opt for custom window treatments, you're not only investing in the aesthetics of your home but also ensuring a perfect fit, superior quality and a product made specifically for your requirements. Our local curtain shop in Falmouth takes pride in offering tailored solutions that cater to your unique needs and style preferences.


The Importance of Interlining

Interlining is the hidden hero behind your curtains and blinds. It's the layer between the decorative fabric and the lining, and its primary function is to enhance the performance and appearance of your window treatments. Interlining plays a pivotal role in insulation, light control, and longevity, making it a crucial choice for every homeowner.


Bump Interlining: Your Ultimate Thermal Barrier

When it comes to interlining, bump interlining stands out for its exceptional thermal properties. As a proud provider of high-quality drapery fabrics in Cornwall, we recommend bump interlining to our customers looking to make their homes cosier and more energy-efficient. Here's why:

  1. Superior Insulation: Bump interlining is known for its thickness, which provides excellent insulation against the cold. By trapping warm air and preventing drafts, it helps maintain a comfortable temperature in your home. Studies show that 30% of heat is lost through our windows, so choosing interlining can really help with keeping the warmth in and the cold out.

  2. Energy Savings: Investing in bump interlining can result in substantial energy savings. You'll find yourself reaching for the thermostat less often, ultimately reducing your heating costs.

  3. Elegance and Fullness: Beyond its thermal benefits, bump interlining also adds fullness and opulence to your curtains and blinds, creating a luxurious and inviting atmosphere and enhancing the drape of your curtains.

  4. Year-Round Comfort: While bump interlining shines in the colder months, it's also effective in regulating the temperature during the summer. It helps block out excessive heat, keeping your home comfortable year-round.

Expert Advice and Installation

Please also bear in mind that interlining does create a heavier curtain so you will need the right track or pole to ensure that it can withstand the weight of the curtain. Choosing the right pole or track and interlining can be a daunting task, but you don't have to go through it alone. Our team at Cornish Curtains is here to provide interior design advice in Falmouth, ensuring you make the best choice for your space. We offer top-notch installation services, so you can trust us with your entire project.
