There are various ways to make your home more well-defended against the cold this winter, and covering up draughty windows and doors is one of the best. Not only does it prevent cold air from getting in, but it also helps to stop the precious heat from escaping.
A particularly elegant solution on the door front is a thick, thermal curtain, and right now you can pick up the Deconovo Thermal Door Curtain for just £20.51 down from £32.99 at Amazon (all prices correct at the time of writing). Eight size options are available, ranging from £17.94 for the shortest drop to £47.42 for the longest. A total of seven colour options are also available, including beige, taupe, black, dark blue, and various shades of grey.
This curtain is double-layered with polyester microfibre, providing both an insulating and blackout effect. It’s not just suitable for the winter, with the density helping to insulate against outside heat in the summer too.

There’s also a soundproofing effect, which can be a godsend if you live in a noisy block of flats and occasionally get woken up at night. Finally, it’s hand-washable and the weight means any wrinkles will drop out once it’s been re-hung.
Amazon customers have been very pleased with this one, with 4.6 out of 5 stars averaged from over 750 reviews. “Great thickness and insulating properties,” said a five-star review. “Looks good. Definitely saved me a fortune in heating bills last winter. Good to go still this year! Would recommend.”
“This curtain is ideal for a normal size door,” said a review for the 84-inch drop option. “Quite thick, and heavy. Blocks light and definitely made the hall warmer.”
Another said: “This lightweight curtain is very effective at keeping draughts out and heat in. Excellent. I’m buying a spare in another colour. Great length. Good quality and value, and attractive.”
Less-positive reviews are pretty thin on the ground for this door curtain, with discrepancies over thickness and delivery or warehousing issues being the main sources of complaint. “Very thin,” remarked one two-star review, although that one is certainly against the run of play.
“Arrived with what looks like two dirty marks on,” said another customer.
Elsewhere, Debenhams has this patterned option available in a variety of colours for £24 to £28.80 depending on size. If a curtain isn’t the best option for you, Dunelm has a range of draught excluders for just £5.60.
From just £17.94, the Deconovo Thermal Door Curtain is a great choice that will keep the draughts at bay and help to keep you and your family warm through these chilly months.
