Jul 06 2023
Summer is here again at last. And if recent years have shown us anything, we can expect some exceptionally bright and hot days again. With temperatures soaring as high as 30 and 40 degrees in some parts of the UK, it’s a good time to discuss the best blinds for keeping your home cool in summer. This month, we’re going to explain exactly how blinds can aid your attempts to keep your home cool during the height of summer, and the best blinds for the season. We’ll also explore blinds for your summer house or garden room, given that these are now a prominent feature for many gardens.![Best blinds keep cool this summer](https://www.yourblindsdirect.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/best-blinds-keep-cool-summer-1024x593.jpg)
Do blinds keep your home cool?
For most of the year, we’re probably more likely to be concerned about the potential for rain, but from June through to early September the midday sun can turn some homes into uncomfortably hot places to be. This is where your choice of blinds can be crucial. Blinds help to keep your home cool in a few different ways depending on your choice of style. The first and most apparent way blinds can help to maintain a lower internal temperature for your home is through the shade they offer. With a full window covering, you block out the sun’s rays, especially if you’ve chosen a design with UV-reflective backing. You’ll need to make sure you have them closed before the sun comes up, however, because once the room is hot, lowering the blinds will be of little help in the short term. Once the sun goes down, open your blinds and windows again to let cooler air circulate. Your blinds can also help to block out warm air if you’ve got the windows open, providing some thermal blocking. However, on extremely hot days you’ll likely need to keep your windows closed to try and keep the humid and muggy air out.Best blinds for the summer
