If blinds help keep heat in, do they make your room hotter in summer? We explain how to make your windows a weapon in your fight against the heat
Briefly

To keep rooms cool during summer, it is essential to close doors, windows, and blinds before external temperatures rise. Keeping everything closed prevents hot air from entering the home and reduces sunlight, which can be compared to the cooling effect of a cave. By mitigating outside heat and light, the indoor temperature remains more manageable. Effective use of blinds can therefore make a significant difference during heatwaves.
In the short term, keeping doors, windows and blinds closed during the day can make a big difference to the temperature inside your home during a heatwave. Think of it like a cave.
You want to probably mimic that in your home. Reduce sunlight and stop the movement of the outside air into the home.
