With summer well underway, property owners who go to work in the daytime might benefit from shutting their blinds, a commentator has suggested.
Writing in an article for
Rye Patch, Jaclyn Bruntfield noted the role that blinds can play in tackling light from the sun.
She stated in her piece that they "are helpful in reflecting the sun's rays, so if you're at work during the day, keep the blinds flipped closed to help keep the sun's rays from warming your home".
Meanwhile, people who have products like
Roman blinds installed in their homes might be interested to note that the expert suggests householders may also be able to cool their houses by opening windows.
NHS Warrington is also focusing on the issue of summer heat, the Warrington Guardian has reported, with the body offering guidance to people in the local area about how to deal with warm weather.
