Would thermal curtains over an archway keep heat in a specific room? (self.asklemmy)

Our kitchen heats up our whole apartment whenever we cook and we don’t have A/C. If I covered the small arch entrance to the kitchen with a thermal curtain would it be worth the insulation it could provide?

I think it would. I live in the deep south and have an enormous east-facing window in my bedroom. It gets miserably hot in there in the summer. I put a thermal blackout curtain up and it's made a big difference. Not as much as I'd hoped, but I'm fighting the ridiculous southern sun; I think for what you're needing it for, it would do the job.
