As we are expecting a repeat performance of the June heat, here’s some timely advice from our industry body BBSA

Most people open windows when it gets hot, but that can actually make your home uncomfortable.

✅ Close your blinds AND windows during the day to block solar heat
✅ Only ventilate when the outside air is cooler than inside (usually at night)
✅ Start early – don’t wait until the room is already hot

Your existing blinds and shades are more powerful than you think. Use them correctly. 🏠

As the UK braces for another heatwave this weekend, here’s how to help combat the rising temperatures:

1. Keep your windows closed during the day
Counterintuitive, yes; but you don’t want to add warm air. UK homes are built to trap heat- keep it out. You can open the windows in the evening when it’s cooler

2 Keep your blinds and curtains closed during the day
Even with the windows closed, glazing magnifies the heat from the sun, which can warm your home up quickly. Make sure to cover windows during the day to protect from direct sunlight

3. Avoid generating more heat
Sounds obvious, but it’s easily done in this day and age. Make sure your central heating is turned off. You can also turn off/ unplug appliances and electronics when they’re not in use, as well as avoid having too many lights on.

Consider cooking at cooler times of the day, or choose meals that don’t require the use of an oven or hob that create additional heat.

There is additional great advice available at BBSA, British Red Cross, Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT) - preventing accidents and BBC News UK

It’s Sleep Awareness Month and World Sleep Day on March 13 😴

With the spring equinox and lighter mornings and evenings just around the corner, now is a good time to re-think your sleeping space. While everyone loves the sunshine, not everyone wants a 5am wake-up call.

Blinds and shutters help keep early morning sun or street lights out of your bedroom - keeping it dark and helping you sleep.

Check out the sleep environment tips from the Sleep Charity: https://thesleepcharity.org.uk/information-support/adults/sleep-environment/

For expert advice on shading products for whatever requirement, chat with us when we reopen next Wednesday
