As the UK gears up to enter its second heatwave of the year, you may be wondering how best to keep your home cool and comfortable. Made to measure blinds are one of the best ways of controlling your indoor environment, and this is why.
How made to measure blinds work
Windows are a prime source of thermal transfer in a home, with approximately 76% of the sunlight that reaches the window entering and heating the inside of the property.
Blinds improve occupant comfort by controlling the amount of light, glare and heat that enters the home over the summer months. By selecting the right type and colour, you can make a significant difference to your comfort levels, just by adjusting the position of the blinds.
Control the indoor temperature with blinds
While curtains can only be open or closed, blinds allow for minute adjustments, allowing you to control exactly how much sunlight enters the room and at what angle. Not only does this improve privacy but it can help you achieve a comfortable indoor temperature.
