Keeping Your Home Cool In Summer And Warm In Winter
The Benefits of Aluminium Shutters in Brisbane
Installing shutters and blinds can be an effective method of insulating your windows and helping to retain cool air in the summer and warm air in the winter, without leading to high cooling and heating bills.
This video from Touchstone Energy outlines some of the advantages of shutters and blinds for retaining more radiant heat energy from the sun in the winter. By opening the slats and louvers of these window coverings during the day to let in as much sunlight as possible, and closing them at night to prevent heat escaping, you can benefit from natural heating in your home without over reliance on gas or electric heating. Alternatively, slats can be kept closed during the day in the summer and opened at night, which will keep out direct sunlight and lead to cooler internal temperatures, as well as preventing fading of furnishings.
Installing insulation in different parts of your home can also be crucial for retaining warm or cool air at different times of the year, reducing the amount lost through windows, walls and roofs. If you live in an older property that still has single pane windows, or double glazing that's more than 10 years old, replacing the glass can improve heat and noise insulation as well as security.
