Solid
roller blinds might prove to be a relatively inexpensive option for people who are aiming to block sunlight from their homes this summer, it has been suggested.
Writing in an article for
Eyeweekly.com, Todd Irvine has pointed out that householders should shut their blinds through the night as well as during daylight hours to prevent heat building up in their properties.
This will help them to prepare for the sunrise in the morning, he believes.
Mr Irvine advised: "Get blinds, and use them. The solid white roll-down ones are ideal and are cheap."
While noting that louvered blinds might cost people a bit more money, the expert still feels that they may also prove to be a good option.
The role that blinds can play in preventing sunlight from entering people's houses has also recently been pointed out by Duke Energy's Paige Layne in an article for WBTV.com.
