When the thermometer reaches record highs, you want to escape into a cool room. But what about those who do not have an air conditioner at home?
Sun Protection
Everyone wants to stay comfortable at any time of the year regardless of where they are living. So, irrespective of the location only tightly closed windows will help reduce the influence of sunlight in the summer and, therefore, reduce the apartment’s heating. This is especially true for housing with large or panoramic glazing.
There are several options like black-out curtains, roller blinds, and even shutters. Alternatively, you can consider glueing the windows with a particular film or simple foil from the inside.
Unfortunately, even though our first advice will allow you to slow down the process of heating the apartment in summer, it will not save you entirely from the heat. Therefore, it is worth connecting other cooling methods.
Cool the Air
Everyone knows that air conditioners have a relatively affordable and effective alternative in the form of a fan. Even a budget device can ideally help you survive the high temperature if you use a little life hack: put a container of ice water under the air stream (you can also moisten the curtains with a spray bottle).
Special Cleaning
Wet cleaning is a must in the heat. But while cleaning up the apartment, follow a few more simple steps:
Remove unnecessary textiles and decor items: Carpets, bedspreads, rugs, decorative pillows, and capes absorb heat well.
Pay attention to bed covers: Change the set for one made from natural materials (linen or cotton is preferable).
Add Green Plants
There are never too many indoor plants, especially now, when we have a vast number and variety of design techniques for their use in the interior of a house and also for a house for sale. From a practical point of view, living green plants help purify the air further, and their regular watering helps humidify dry, hot rooms.
Use Summer Material for Home Renovation
A comfortable microclimate in the heat begins with the materials you used to decorate walls, floors, and ceilings. So, for example, porcelain stoneware and natural stone will remove excess heat well. And linoleum – heats up and does not allow air to pass through. Also, it is worth considering at the furnishing stage – massive upholstered furniture will not play in your favour on hot days.
You must learn how to approach choosing materials for repairs competently, and what and where you can save. Remember to keep this famous quote in mind “a miser pays twice.” And of course, the time of abnormal temperature records is a reason to take care of your health: drink more water and avoid excessive physical exertion during this season of monsoon!
