Cool as a cucumber throughout the day

When the sun is at it's strongest, is when we are hottest. Here are some tips to keep you and your home cool in the day.

Keep out the heat and light

Curtains and blinds can help your home stay at a comfortable temperature. Thicker curtains keep out the sun’s hot rays and different layers in your windows also help insulate your home.

So do cellular blinds, which have a honeycomb structure that traps air, a natural insulator, inside them.

Different light management options for curtains and blinds include light filtering, privacy, room darkening and block-out curtains. For a better cooling effect, choose room darkening or block-out blinds which will prevent the sunlight from getting in.

Get hydrated with H2O and ice cool treats

Did you know that increased water intake on hot days can help prevent dehydration and heatstrokes? With more sweating and loss of water from the body, an increase in water intake can help to replace fluids and also cool down your body temperature.
