Just like using
door curtain aluminum to block sunlight, covering your windows with window trim will definitely block sunlight and protect your interior from the heat. From blackout curtains to blackout roller blinds, there are many different coverings that can help you make window insulation. Instead of just using aluminum foil, the curtains actually accentuate the look of the window and the decor of the room. If you are looking for further energy efficiency then look for the cellular shade. Not only do they keep sunlight out of your interior, but they also keep incoming hot air out because their pocket-like structure traps it.
Outdoor sunshades are great for the outdoors if you want to put something outside your window. They cover your windows from the outside, creating a cladding there. When spending the day outdoors, like during a picnic or a hike, do you not prefer to find a large tree somewhere that is creating large spaces of shade to spend time to relax? The same idea can be applied to your home. By creating a shaded area over your windows, you are preventing direct sunlight from getting to your windows.
With awnings, you are still allowing natural light to enter your home, but you are forcing it to come indirectly, helping to deflect unwanted UV rays and excess heat. If money is extremely tight and spending on new window coverings or awnings is not an option, do not worry, you can reuse the same things keeping you warm in winter to keep you cool in summer. The same quilts that you like to snuggle under in the colder months can be hung in front of your window during the hotter months. Like cellular shades, the quilt is made of materials that can block out unwanted air, keeping the space you occupy a comfortable temperature.
Turning the air conditioners to the maxim um might appear to be a good option, but for some, it is too pricey or they want to supplement it. The tips outlined above are a few ways in which you can do that. Combating summer heat can also be translated to combating winter cold as well with some of these suggestions, as the added insulation can work in both seasons. Regardless, it is a great idea to reduce your energy usage and reduce your energy bill. Window treatments, additional aluminum foil on the window frame and awnings can all assist in this.
