4 Blinds and Shutters That Will Beat the Heat This Summer

With temperatures looking to rise this summer, we want all our customers beat the heat and enjoy the season by keeping their homes a cool and calming place to be. While we may enjoy the summer sun, not everyone can stand the heat which is a side effect of this time of year.

Today, we are taking a look at the most fashionable and functional solution to beat the heat back this summer. With a variety of blinds and shutters that can withstand the conditions and keep your house at the perfect temperature all year round.

Duette blinds are cost-effective insulators

In our opinion, one of the best blinds to install across any season of the year is duette. These nature-inspired, honeycombed shape, window fittings provide the perfect solution for any temperature issues.

The honeycombed style of these blinds provides insulation, saving you money for warming your home in the winter and keeping you feeling cool all summer long. Our selection of duette blinds comes in a variety of shades and patterns. For the summertime, we recommend the use of lighter colours for window fittings as they keep heat absorption to a minimum. 

While we love our blackout blinds for the comforting darkness they can provide during sunnier mornings, the heavier fabric type and colour can trap heat inside your room. If you’re finding your home is getting stuffy during a hot day, perhaps it’s time to consider swapping out your old blackout blinds for duette ones!

Vision blinds provide completely customised temperatures

Creating the perfect temperature all comes down to allowing light or blocking light from entering your home. With vision blinds, the overlapping style of the fabric creates a visually appealing and brightening effect to the room while also being customisable enough to keep out the worst heat spikes of the midday sun.

Vision blinds, frequently referred to as ‘night and day blinds’, are dual-layered roller blinds that offer privacy as well as heat reduction in the home. The fabric layers are connected in a stripe-like pattern, allowing the user to adjust throughout the day to suit their needs. beat the heat

We would recommend opening them to their widest setting in the morning, taking time to enjoy the cooler morning temperatures, before adjusting to the slimmest setting in the afternoon to keep out light and heat.

Faux wood blinds for more humid spaces

For those sun-soaked outdoor buildings, such as conservatories, summerhouses, and porches, the warmth and humidity can cause fabric blinds and curtains to spore mould – that’s why we recommend faux wood blinds for any outdoor building.

Unlike their real wood counterparts, these ecologically smart fittings are easy to clean and are hardy against a variety of temperatures and humidity conditions, thereby keeping troublesome bacteria growth to a minimum while also keeping temperatures low. 

Perfect fit is the perfect fitting

As the name suggests, nothing fits better than a perfect-fit blind. These easy-to-fit, no-damage blinds can blend instantaneously with any window fitting and interior design. We offer ours in a range of colours and styles. This includes a roller blind design which we did not mention in this list, but they are a style that is also the perfect solution to beat the heat back, especially with blackout lining.

These blinds are completely custom to the translucent part of your window, allowing total coverage of the glass, which blocks out the light and heat from the weather outside.
