FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What types of curtains are best for homes in Shellharbour?
In Shellharbour, the best types of curtains are those that offer a balance of style, privacy, insulation, and durability—especially considering the coastal climate. Blockout curtains are a great choice for bedrooms and media rooms as they completely block external light and help regulate indoor temperatures. Sheer curtains are ideal for living areas where natural light is welcome, while still providing daytime privacy.
Layering sheers with blockout curtains on a double track is a popular choice, offering flexibility for both light control and insulation. For coastal homes, it’s also important to select fabrics that are fade-resistant and easy to maintain, as strong sunlight and sea air can wear down lower-quality materials over time.
Do curtains help with insulation and energy efficiency?
Yes, curtains are one of the most effective window treatments for improving insulation and energy efficiency. In a climate like Shellharbour’s, where temperatures can vary and homes often face strong sun exposure, lined or heavy fabric curtains help trap heat in winter and block solar heat in summer. Properly fitted curtains that extend past the window frame and reach the floor are particularly effective at reducing heat transfer.
When closed, they create a barrier between the window and the room, minimising drafts and keeping indoor temperatures more stable. Combining curtains with pelmets or double tracks can further enhance their insulating properties, ultimately helping to reduce heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
How do I choose the right curtain fabric for a coastal area like Shellharbour?
Choosing the right curtain fabric for a coastal area like Shellharbour involves considering both style and practicality. Coastal conditions bring strong UV exposure, salt air, and humidity, which can impact how fabrics wear over time. Look for UV-resistant, fade-resistant materials such as polyester blends, acrylics, or coated cotton.
These fabrics are less likely to discolour or degrade when exposed to sunlight. For rooms with high humidity—such as bathrooms or kitchens—opt for lightweight, quick-drying materials. In living areas, linen-look sheers offer a breezy, elegant feel, while heavier weaves work well for thermal insulation. Choosing easy-to-clean and mould-resistant fabrics will also ensure your curtains stay fresh and functional longer in coastal environments.
