Heatwaves are beginning to become the norm every summer. Thankfully, we’ve got the ideal blinds to keep the heat out and let your house cool down.
With the rising temperatures of summer, everyday tasks around the house can become more difficult. The heat can also cause health issues, if it’s bad enough, for people of all ages, not just the elderly or very young.
Helping In Heatwaves
In times of amber weather warnings for heatwaves, it’s advised you stay in your home. The only problem with that of course is that your windows are likely to make it warmer as the sun shines through, and British houses are built to keep the heat in after centuries of cold and dismal weather.
With blackout blinds installed, however, your house will cool down to a more acceptable temperature, allowing you to go about with your day-to-day tasks. These thick roller blinds can block sunlight from entering your room, and let the room cool naturally in the shade.
In addition, if you have your blackout roller blinds installed as perfect fit blinds, you’ll find that they block the entire window and don’t leave any small sections for the sun to peek through. While your blinds will be measured to fit, unless they’re perfect-fit blinds then they still have the chance of allowing a bit of natural light through.
What Else Are Blackout Blinds Useful For?
Blackout blinds are incredibly useful to have around the house, not just in the bedroom. While some roller blinds simply dim the natural light entering your house, blackout blinds are constructed with thicker material, meaning they can block almost all-natural light from peeking through.
This makes them a great tool for sleeping during the day, which shift workers often need to do. It’s also excellent for keeping your children asleep for longer, either for naps or for that lovely Sunday lie-in.
When the heat dies down and winter starts to arrive, blackout blinds will be great for keeping the heat in as well! Thanks to the thicker material, they act almost like draught excluders so you can put that halogen heater back in the cupboard and stay cosy in your home.
