Although summer has only just begun, record high temperatures mean we still have a long, hot summer ahead. With the cost of household utilities continuing to rise and our awareness to be environmentally conscious increasing, homeowners are searching for ways to keep themselves and their homes cool during summer.
Here are a few cost-effective and energy efficient ways to keep you and your family cool, even during the hottest days and nights, this summer:
- Close Curtains and Blinds
- Low Energy Glass Products
- Double Glazed Windows and Doors
Close Curtains and Blinds
The less heat you allow to enter your home, the less cooling required. Keeping curtains and blinds closed on hot days provides a barrier against the heat, providing extra shade indoors. The more shade, the cooler and comfortable your home will be. Closing curtains and blinds will not only make a difference to the temperature inside your home but protect floor coverings and furniture too. Outdoor blinds, made from high quality, strong, durable materials, are another great option and can be used to your advantage dependant on the season.
Low Energy Glass Products
Low energy glass products have greater insulating properties and transmit less solar radiation keeping your home cooler in summer. They are a cost-effective way to reduce power bills and save you money long term. The options and colours available for low energy glass products are endless allowing you to match them to your homes paint colours, décor or furniture. Low Energy Glass is ideal to use in entry/exit doors around the home plus exterior windows and sky lights.
Double Glazed Windows and Doors
Windows and doors in the home can be double glazed. Double glazing combines two panes of glass, separated by a sealed layer of air or gas. Double glazing provides a barrier creating premium thermal efficiency and ventilation, meaning a reduction in cooling costs. Engineered to last, double glazed windows and doors won’t only help to keep your home cool but provides additional strength and security to doors and windows too.
