Our country is a whole Pandora’s box. We can live our day-to-day with temperatures quite extreme and survive in the open without suffering the slightest risk.
However, summer is always a rather peculiar time. We can reach temperatures of over 40ºC without any trace of rain or clouds in the surroundings and, consequently, the heat and the sun always do their thing, affecting our health and our state of mind.
But don’t despair! Today in our post we will provide some essential tips to protect your home and family from inclement weather. Take note and prepare for the heat. Are you ready?
Keep the house ventilated
Constantly keep doors and windows open, mainly at times where the wind is favorable for your home; it can be morning, afternoon or evening. Just be sure not to neglect this detail and always look for natural ventilation to enter your new JAVER house.
Pay attention: locate the doors or windows in which the sun enters directly and keep them protected with light curtains, so the wind can continue to enter without the need to bathe the room with sunlight.
Decrease the use of electrical energy
Try to keep the lights off if their use is not necessary; if you have them on, not only will you be emitting more heat with these bulbs, but you will also have to pay more on the electric bill when this is not even necessary. Don’t forget that the sun is also an ally.
Household appliances also emit heat and it is better if you use them during the cooler hours of the day. Organize your times and try to use them more optimally. You will notice a big difference in your home.
Decorate for the summer
Did you know that details such as furniture can greatly influence the thermal sensation of a home? The colors of the walls and the furniture are always a determining factor for our home station by station, therefore it is important to go according to each one.
An example is wooden furniture. These help regulate the humidity of the bedrooms. If you have rugs it is advisable to remove them in summer, and exchange the synthetic fibersfor vegetables, which better absorb heat and moisture.
More plants in the house
If you have a terrace or garden, watering it will help you reduce the temperature by a couple of degrees, the water that evaporates lowers the temperature of the environment. Interesting, right?
If you do not have a large space outside, a solution is to place plants and planters on the windows, which by absorbing the sun’s rays will create a picture of freshness that will spread throughout the room you are in, such as the living room or your bedrooms.
Take advantage of the water as much as possible
In summer it is common to reduce the consumption of hot water, especially in the shower. However, water is a resource that we continue and will continue to use always, so it is important to use it properly and use no more than necessary. Hydrate yourself constantly and be aware of how you use it.
Extra help
Install insulating sheets on your window panes. These are easily placed, they are inexpensive, transparent, absorb a good amount of solar radiation and, once set, practically imperceptible.
Well, these are some of the options we give you to free your home a little from the heat. These are pretty simple tips and you don’t need more than a little common sense to put them to work.
