How Our Blinds Help with Thermal Reflection

The summer has officially arrived, and it has arrived with a passion. Temperatures across the country are reaching 30 in some places, and we’ll likely have a few more heatwaves like this before the autumn arrives. Over the next few months, it is going to be absolutely imperative that we ensure our houses are kept cool so that we have comfortable spaces to go to when the temperature is overbearing outside. Furthermore, with energy costs rising, it’s a good idea to find another way to keep your home cooler that doesn’t involve filling your house with electric fans that bump up your energy usage.

Here at Appeal Home Shading, we have the solution! Whether you’re looking to keep the conservatory cool or the whole house, we have a selection of blinds that are designed with the express purpose of keeping the interior of your home cool during the summer (as well as warm during the winter). 

Why is my home so warm?

Blinds make a clear difference to an interior temperature no matter their design. Light enters through our windows, leaving heat energy in its wake as it bounces around the room. Since our interiors tend to be well insulated to help keep them warm through the winter, this heat becomes trapped and struggles to get out. Even when you open the windows to cool the room, it isn’t easy to regulate the temperature if the light is still able to come in. 

That’s where our blinds come in! Appeal Home Shading’s range of interior blinds has been designed to keep out the light, increase the home’s privacy, and help keep out the heat, so your home is comfortable during summer. When the blinds are extended, much of the light is reflected outside through the window instead of entering the home in the first place. As a result, the light never has a chance to leave the heat energy it carries around the house. 

The Honeycomb Energy Saver Blind

All of our shading will offer some level of heat reflection,  but some are better than others. The first of these is the Honeycomb Energy Saver blind. Designed to save you money on your heating bills during the winter, the unique hexagonal and layered design gives these pleated blinds exceptional temperature management qualities. These blinds can reduce heat absorption in your home by up to 78%, meaning your home will be noticeably cooler throughout the warmer months, and you can spend less on your energy bills blasting fans all day and night.
