Here are 3 ways to keep your home cool this summer:
Shade
Shade the north and west-facing windows using solar film or external window covers such as awnings or roller shutters. Open the windows in the morning to let cool air into the room. Close windows and draws blinds during the hottest part of the day to prevent the heat from coming in.
Seal
Draught seal leaky windows and doors to prevent warm air (or cold air during winter) from getting into the house. Sealing your home is an easy and cost-effective way to improve the comfort of your home.
Double glaze
Replace or double your existing windows to effectively improve thermal comfort and energy efficiency in your home. A well-insulated window means that you’ll use less energy to keep your home at a comfortable temperature.

If you read the news, you would have heard this summer is forecasted to be hotter than usual, and the heat will strike early for the northern part of the nation – with some areas could see mercury tipped to reach mid-40 degrees in the next few days.
While we enjoy a warm summer day, certainly nobody enjoys the extreme heatwave. We can escape the heat by staying in – the question is how to stop the heat from following us into our homes.
