Did you know that 15% of your heat could be lost through draughty windows and doors?<\/p>\n

One solution to cut out the draughts is thermal curtains. If fitted correctly over windows and doors, they can help to reduce heat loss by up to 15-17%.\u00a0However, thermally lined curtains can be expensive and are not always accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n

In an attempt to make this energy saving measure more accessible, 361 Energy are trialling a new service called the The Curtain Bank.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Funded by Western Power, the aim of the service is to take surplus curtains that are donated by people who don’t need them any more. We’ll work with a team of expert volunteers to alter the donated curtains and get them fitted in a household who needs them.<\/p>\n

With your help and donations, we aim to provide curtains and draught excluders to those most vulnerable households across North Devon.<\/p>\n

Could you spare some time to be involved with our Curtain Bank?<\/p>\n
