Blinds “a good choice” for eco-friendly home

Blinds can help make a home more environmentally friendly and cut back on energy bills, according to AnnArbor.com.

The issue of climate change has forced many people to consider the impact their own lifestyle has on the environment.

There are many ways of making a property more eco-friendly and fitting blinds is a good start as they can improve energy efficiency.

"Interior blinds, either horizontal or vertical, are a good choice because the slats can be used to control light and ventilation in the summer," the website added.

In addition, appliances with high energy efficiency ratings can help to save money and the environment, and during the warm summer months heating should not be left on while windows are open.

AtHomeMagazine.com also recently advised that blinds can play a big part in an eco-home, helping to reduce the impact on both the environment and a homeowner’s wallet.
