Blinds could prove very useful to people who are aiming to reflect sunlight away from their properties during the summer months.
That is according to Christine Chacha, who has written in an article for the Citizen that certain window coverings can help householders to deal with warm sunlight.
She stated in her piece: "Install ... white curtains or blinds to reflect heat back outside the house."
The commentator also recommended "closing the side that the sun hits to keep out the sun's heat".
However, these are not the only options available to consumers who have concerns about sunny weather.
Ms Chacha also feels that heavy curtains might provide them with a window covering solution.
Owners of
Roman Blinds may also be interested to note that a writer going by the name of Mrs Fixit recently suggested in a DIY Life article that window coverings could protect wooden floors from strong sunlight.
