Strategies For Naturally Cooling Homes

Appearances from the sun have been few and far between so far this summer, but there has been the odd warm day amid the gloom, as may have become apparent in your property if left with a stuffy feel.

A hot indoor climate can make sleeping hard work, seeing you using fans to cool off, but this is a drain on energy costs. Not so much if you have the fans positioned close to windows at night so that cooler air is circulated internally.

To move away from depending on energy to stay ventilated, employ the natural cooling methods prescribed by your trusted local home improvement company, James Oliver.

Monopolise your windows

Keeping heat in is one of our home’s foremost responsibilities, so you need windows to cool the atmosphere at times. A cross-breeze can be fashioned if you open windows on opposite sides of a room, cultivating a manageable flurry of fresh air.

This technique will have optimum effect early or later in the day as that’s when external temperatures are generally at their lowest.

The addition of energy efficient windows has the ability to considerably uplift natural ventilation and decrease indoor temperatures. Amplify their supreme thermal performance with installation of curtains or blinds.

Adjust cooking routines

When cooking food, ovens often let out extreme heat, which can bring a sweltering feel to a room if done at periods like lunchtime.

Lunches are best served cold for this reason, so stick to salads and sandwiches moving forward.

If you can’t cope with solely cold dishes, try and reserve oven usage for when you first come down in the morning or just ahead of your bedtime. Buy an air fryer as a cooking alternative, something that emits less heat.

Rely on bi-folds to cajole air flow

Phenomenally wide openings can be accomplished with bi-folding doors. When fully opened, you profit from remarkable ventilation.

It’s critical they are fitted in an area where air can flood in and the rational locations would be facing a shaded garden or somewhere lots of breeze is likely to be caught and lured.

Wait for outdoor temperatures to cool before you open the bi-folds, restricting the need for artificial ventilation. James Oliver is happy to identify the most favourable setting for these breathtaking feature doors.
