The summer heat is felt, and the desire for a cooler house is common to many. But it’s not always possible to find coolness with fans and air conditioners, so how can you make your house cooler? If you are not lucky enough to live in a naturally ventilated environment, we have the solution for you. We at Realigro have collected some advice on how to overcome this problem. With a bit of ingenuity and a small investment, you can refresh your home. And then, if you are ready … we can start!
The first element that can make a difference is the fixtures. No, it is not enough to open the windows to circulate air. On the contrary, most of the time, opening the windows makes the situation worse, letting the heat in. A minimum but efficient investment is the glass (thicker). In this way, it will be possible to insulate your home from the heat!
In addition, even in winter, you will save on heating!
Amongst the most designer shading, we identify the awnings. Wonderful and impressive, if chosen with taste, they protect from UV rays. But that’s not all. As good photographers teach us, awnings have a reflective effect. This way you can enjoy the sunlight while staying cool!
Climbing trees, evergreen plants and ivy. In short, whoever has the most! The plants will be good allies to make your home cooler! A natural cover on the terrace that will save you money and above all will guarantee an optical effect of impact! Place them in the south, where the sun is stronger!
The roof plays a key role in the refrigeration process of the house. Not everyone knows that, in order for the internal temperature to be lowered, it is necessary to act on the insulation. There are many attics that reach suffocating temperatures in summer. So act on them to avoid an unwanted sauna effect!
Colours are of paramount importance. We have seen, in fact, how, in order to furnish one’s home in a more maritime way, it is enough to choose the right shades. The same goes for making your home cooler. Have you ever noticed the typical Greek or African houses? They are characterised by light colours which, in the sunniest periods, do not absorb light. If you are particularly hot, we have two solutions:
Now that our advice is over, it will be a piece of cake to make your house much cooler. If you want more information, you already know what to do. Stay tuned to our Realigro portal! We will refresh you with our news!
