The summer months are very unpredictable, and the days can feel like they’ve been hot for a while, and as the seasons change, it’s only going to get hotter! If you’re looking for ways to cool down your home, there are a few things you can try.
If you have windows that are exposed to direct sunlight, close them during the day. This will help keep your house cool and reduce energy costs. Use Blackout blinds and curtains during the day to block out heat from entering through your windows. At night, using blinds as well as curtains will help to keep the room cool, for a perfect night sleep. If you don’t have any curtains or blinds on hand (or if they’re not enough), make sure you keep your windows closed, as this will help to protect your home from any external weather conditions.
Install Roller blinds with blackout lining or cellular fabric in your windows
Roller blinds with blackout lining and cellular fabric are the best option for windows or doors. These products will help keep your home cool during a heat wave by blocking out the sun’s rays and keeping them from entering your home.
When choosing Roller blinds with blackout lining, make sure you purchase one that fits tightly in the window recess so that no light passes through it. You should also consider purchasing roman blinds with blackout lining for better insulation as well as privacy when needed. If you’re looking for something more affordable than Roman shades, then you may want to consider Roller or Vertical blackout blinds.
Blackout blinds offer the ‘most’ blackout solution, however keep in mind that they are not 100% blackout as it’s only the fabric that is blackout not the whole blind.
ASC fabrics are the most suitable for those wanting to keep their homes feeling cool. They refer to a reflective backing on the material which helps improve the energy efficiency of the blind by reflecting the heat out in summer. It’s also important to open up your blinds when the air is cool, but keep them closed at night time so no light can come in through windows during sleep hours.
Hang some curtains or blinds across your doorways and windows
Hanging curtains or blinds across your doorways and windows is a great way to block out the unwanted sunlight. Curtains can be hung from the ceiling to block out light, or they can be hung in front of windows and doors if you prefer more privacy.
If you have ceiling fans or air conditioning in your home, use it
If you have ceiling fans or air conditioning in your home, use them. Ceiling fans can be used to circulate air and create a cooling effect on the hottest days of summer. If you don’t have a ceiling fan and want one, consider purchasing one that has an energy-efficient design so that it doesn’t cost more than what it saves on energy costs over time. Air conditioning is another way to keep cool during hot weather; however, it can be expensive if not properly maintained by professionals who know how to service units properly when they break down as well as install new ones when needed (or sooner).
If you’re looking for ways to save money while still keeping cool at home during those hot summer months when temperatures rise above 25 degrees outside, then try using portable fans instead of traditional stationary ones because they are much more affordable!
It’s also important to keep your blinds closed when using air conditioning so that the cool air traps inside your room.
Try to keep the sun out of your home by trying these top tips
Keep the sun out of your home by doing these things:
– Close blinds and curtains during the day. This will help keep the heat out, and reduce how much energy you’re using on air conditioning.
– Use air conditioning when possible, but make sure not to leave it on all day long if you don’t need it – you’ll waste electricity and increase your utility bill!
– Put up curtains or roller blinds with blackout lining or cellular fabric in windows that get direct sunlight during the day (this is especially important if there are people sleeping in those rooms).
– You can also hang some curtains across doorways so they block extra heat from coming into your house from areas that might be warmer than others inside of your house like loft areas or basements, where heat may build up due to insulation issues.
We hope this article has given you some ideas on how to keep your home cool during a heat wave. We know it can be frustrating when the temperature outside gets so high that it feels like there’s no escape from the heat, but with these tips and tricks we think you’ll find it easier than ever before!
