Suggested Approaches For Naturally Cooling Properties
Fans are useful in such instances, especially when you’re trying to enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep, but they consume a lot of energy. It helps if you have them placed near windows during cooler periods to initiate a circulation of cooler air internally.
If you’d rather not depend on energy for cooling purposes, we have some natural cooling suggestions that you can employ once Britain (hopefully) heats up.
Magnify window openings
Homes are built to preserve heat, or at least they should, which makes the role of windows to ventilate their interiors so critical. Optimise their cooling abilities by opening windows that are on opposite sides of a room as this will generate a cross-breeze and capture much coolness inside.
The prime time for doing this is either early in the day or later in the evening as outdoor temperatures generally cool by then.
Having energy efficient windows integrated can uplift ventilation and minimise the level of warmth in a house. Bat away excess sunlight too with light curtains and blinds.
Alter how you cook
On a red-hot day, the last thing you need is for an oven to add to the heat indoors, which isn’t ideal if you like to cook at lunchtimes.
So that oven usage can be avoided when 12 or 1 o’clock comes, revert to salads and sandwiches over cooked meals.
When you’ve no other option but to fire up the oven, try and do so in the mornings and evenings instead. Less heat also comes out of an air fryer if you have one of those.
Wield bi-folds for air flow
Bi-folding doors are the leader of the pack in the feature door world when it comes to offering the widest opening – a fully opened bi-fold entices superior ventilation.
They must be positioned in an apt area to fulfil this role, such as facing a shaded garden or where a good breeze can travel in.
Wait for the coolest part of the day to maximise a bi-fold’s expansive opening as then you’ll have little reliance on artificial ventilation. TradeMark can pinpoint the best location for them to go.
Ventilation from air conditioning and fans will only be required in the smallest doses if you take up our tips. Secure a free quote for energy efficient windows or bi-folds in just seconds here.
