Do curtain pelmets work?
Without a pelmet, hot air rises to the top of the curtain, touches the cold glass of the window, causing the hot air to cool down. This cooled air then enters the room, making the room feel colder. Pelmets prevent hot air from touching the cold glass in the first place, making your curtains much more effective.
