The Top 3 Window Blinds to keep your Home Cool this Summer

-

The summer heat is here and that means lazy days relaxing in the sunshine, however, it can become uncomfortably hot inside your home!

Not to worry, by installing window blinds you can keep your home nice and cool this summer season.

1. Vertical Blinds.

These window blinds are great during the summer season as they offer a range of options when it comes to controlling the light as well as privacy. Vertical blinds also come in various fabrics, patterns and colours, meaning that not only do they reduce glare and heat, but they also look fantastic.


2. Venetian Blinds.

Coming in a range of slat sizes and available in aluminium and wood, Venetian blinds are excellent at controlling the light and heat coming into your home. If your home gets especially hot, it is recommended that you use aluminium blinds and the wooden blinds can warp.


3. Roller Blinds.

Keep your home nice and cool with roller window blinds. Because of the solid fabric used to create the blinds, they are slightly more effective at reducing heat compared to vertical and Venetian window blinds. Roller blinds also come in blackout prints to keep out the summer heat.

Clean mini blinds without taking them down to avoid leaving windows uncovered. Blinds collect dust, insect debris and stains from spills and splatters. Window coverings and pull strings can also get discoloured over time. Even routine house cleaning like dusting and window washing can soil the blinds. If they’re taken down to be washed in a tub or sprayed outdoors, they have to dry before going back over the window. Step 1. Open the blinds and let them down all the way. Pull the bottom out from the windowsill and let it fall to expose all the slats. Step 2. Vacuum the loose dust of the slats. Use a brush attachment on the end of the hose and vacuum as much dirt off the tops and bottoms of the slats as possible. Step 3. Pour an ounce of antibacterial soap into a bucket with half a gallon of warm water. Slid the cloth around the slat and slide it from side to side. Do this with each and every one. Do not forget to clean the pull strings as well. The bleach and wat

If you want to transform the look of your living space then installing window treatments such as wooden blinds is a great idea!  However, when you've decided whether to choose wood blinds or faux wood blinds then you’ll need to take into account the room you’re installing them in and how big the windows are. The difference between these two types of blinds is the material they are made from. Wooden blinds are made out of real wood and come in a range of different stains as well as stains.

On the other hand, faux wood blinds are made out of composite PVC and come in a range of different colours, paints, and stains. If you choose a stained look for your faux wooden blinds then it’ll have a more realistic wood look. If you want to install wooden blinds in your bathroom t
