Different Types Of Blinds To Keep You Cool This Summer
19 Feb 2018
Australia is renowned for its extreme summers. A number of air-conditioners work over time during the sunnier months. However, if you are looking to save on electricity bills, blinds can also help to keep you cool. Wait, not all of the blinds are able to do so.
 

Here are 4 kinds of blinds that can help you beat the unbearable heat:

1. Roman Shades

Battling the scorching sun is a big task, especially when the sun is shining through your window all day. Roman shades are available in different fabrics that stand well in blocking the sunlight and also pose a good insulator, too. They have the capability of establishing total blackout in the room while the fabrics also help to get through those summer nights where you just want to relax in a dim, cosy space. This type of window treatment dressing is perfect for smaller windows, which could otherwise be overwhelmed by a pair of curtains.
 

2. Roller Shutters

Roller shutters are able to keep the bright daylight out and also the slats create a tight barrier over the window. This creates a pocket of air to insulate your window from the sun. One of the major benefits of roller shutters are, they provide security to your home from intruders. It’s hard to remove the roller shutters because they are very closely fitted to the door or window and cannot be pulled away without a great deal of effort.
 

3. Vertical Blinds

A bathroom is prone to extreme humidity when it comes to the summer season. But remember, not all of the blinds are made for wet areas. Vertical blinds are the ones that can provide comfort from the heat in bathrooms while also being able to withstand the splash zone. Vertical blinds are available in a very wide variety of colours and materials.
 

4. Wooden Blinds

Your comfort can be hampered when direct sunlight enters into your bedroom or living room. Thus, it's wise to install fabric blinds that help to keep the room dim and also insulate the area. The sunlight enters through the soft material which keeps the space partially brightened. You can also opt for wooden blinds if you do not want to install dense black shades but also sunlight to come.
 
These are the greatest window treatments, especially for the summer season, as they can bring comfort along with style.
