Office blinds could slash your heating bills and cut your carbon footprint

A fifth of all the heat lost from a home escapes through window panes and frames.

So insulating your windows is essential to conserve energy and cash. But in a recession, not all homeowners want to lay out money for double glazing. It's hideous for a start. And expensive.ANd you can't open the windows.
Did I mention how awful it looks?
Ah, I did.
So. Installing energy-efficient blinds sounds like a good option. It's easy, which I like. And cheap, which is even better. A great option for cutting fuel bills in the winter.
Apollo blinds are a good place to start your search. They have over 75 outlets in the UK and Ireland. They're not your typical hideous office blinds. They'd look good in your home. (Be carefu your staff don't nick them)
Apollo has a fantastic energy-efficient product, the Duette® Fixé honeycombe blind that can cut heat loss by up to 34 per cent during the winter.
The double-walled honeycombe design forms an air pocket. Air contained in the honeycomb cells is an effective insulator. Insulation values are especially high with the blackout range, which incorporates a metallised film for perfect darkening and increased insulation.
Another key advantage of the Duette blind is that it’s extremely versatile, neat - there are no visible cords or cord holds, and it’s extremely durable. They can be fitted to any window or door – no matter what shape and size - and are ideal for conservatories and skylight windows.
Apollo made-to-measure Duette blinds are available in two different ranges – 25mm Blackout and 25mm Duotone, with 14 different colours in each collection. All have a white reverse to provide a uniform look from the outside. 
Prices start at £81.82 for a 400x600mm made-to-measure pre-tensioned Duette Duotone blind.
