In short, being self-conscious genteel.The fancy sons and daughters of lace-curtain Boston lawyers who learnt their snobbishness from their parents.

Not flattering and not praising.Written Never heard that phrase but i can give my opinion. Actual lace curtains are light, airy, delicate, see through, flutter in the breeze and are useless as anything but as flouncy decoration. Pretty but otherwise non-funtional.Infer what you wish but my guess is it was not meant as flattery.Written It means having pretensions to being upper class. There are “shanty Irish,” and there are “lace curtain Irish.”Written Not sure what lace curtain's are, but I'd imagine in the UK, they are called nets, or net curtain's, meaning, they can see what you're up to, at night , especiallyGlass is a good conductor of heat. So in the winter when temperatures inside are higher than out, heat escapes through glass. Double glazing is required for windows installed in most new builds and renovations. But for existing homes retrofitting double glazing is expensive and sometimes difficult – and it’s not an option for tenants. So are curtains an effective way to retain that expensive heat?

We measured heat loss through wooden- and aluminium-framed windows fitted with netting curtains, heavy lined curtains, and sill and floor-length ready-made thermal curtains. We also tested other window systems such as pelmets and secondary glazing. To do this we built an insulated wall inside a cooled chamber and installed first a wooden- and then an aluminium-framed window. One side of the wall was cooled to -4°C and the other heated to +26°C. That’s a 30°C temperature difference across the window/wall assembly. To get maximum and minimum heat loss reference values, we measured the energy required to keep the warm side at 26°C. We did this first with the window bare, and then with it covered with a thick layer of polystyrene foam on both sides. For each window-curtain configuration we measured how much energy it took to keep the “warm” side at the controlled temperature. We logged the cold- and warm-side temperatures, power consumption, and time. Cool air is denser (heavier) than warm air.

During cold weather, the air close to a room’s window pane is cooled and tends to sink. When the cooled air sinks it’s replaced by warmer air from other parts of the room. This creates a circulating air current which cools the room – and it isn’t desirable. Curtains that aren’t sealed at top or bottom to stop these air currents can make the situation worse by forming a channel between the window and curtain for the falling cooled air. Stopping that “reverse chimney” air current is crucial to improving window heat loss. It seems simple but our testing shows it’s not that easy. For heat retention, secondary glazing was the most effective window system we tested. You don’t need a professional to apply secondary glazing – and kits such as the one we tested are inexpensive from DIY stores. Interestingly, previous testing has shown secondary glazing to be almost as effective as full double glazing Surprisingly, old-fashioned net curtains were also effective at reducing heat loss.

We think this is because the netting, which was installed close to the panes, interferes with downward air movement over the window. Net curtains are worth having – especially because they’re relatively cheap. We tested ready-made sill and floor-length thermal curtains as well as floor-length custom-made heavy lined curtains. The floor-length curtains of both types were more effective than sill-length curtains, which weren’t a lot better than having no curtains at all. The heavy custom curtain worked better than the cheaper thermal curtains of both types. With both floor-length curtains, making sure the curtains touched the floor was important. Otherwise cooled air escaped out of the gap between the curtain and floor – increasing the overall heat loss. For both types of frame we covered the window frame with a polar-fleece blanket and thermal curtains over the blanket. Heat loss was substantially reduced. It proves it’s not the insulation qualities of the curtain material that matters;

it’s stopping airflow around the window as much as possible. Houses built before 1970 mostly have wooden frame windows. Later, aluminium frames took over. Curtain-for-curtain, the aluminium-frame window lost more heat than the wooden frame equivalent. Wood is a better heat insulator than aluminium, so less heat is lost through the frame. The secondary glazing kit worked well on aluminium frames – it achieved a heat retention value similar to what was achieved by the same type of kit fitted to the wooden frame. But all the curtains performed poorly on aluminium frames compared with the equivalent wooden-frame results. With the thicker wooden frames, the curtains hung slightly closer to the window. The netting curtains in particular were recessed inside the wooden frame but this was not possible with the aluminium frames. The greater air-gap seems to have allowed a freer flow of air behind the curtain – and so there was increased heat loss. We installed a pelmet above the curtains on both the wooden- and aluminium-framed windows to see if there was decreased heat loss.
