Best Curtains And Blinds For The Summer
As Summer is hastily approaching, we’re looking forward to days out on sunny beaches, chasing down the ice cream van and having picnics in beautiful parks… One thing we’re not looking forward to however is getting blinded by screen-flare every time we try to watch our televisions during the (very long) daytime…
… Come to think of it, we don’t much like picking up a sweat by simply existing in our home when it’s really hot out either.
There’s a lot to love about Summertime, but if you couldn’t tell, we have a few grievances to air when the temperature breaks 30°c. If only we had some products that can make hot, long Summer days a bit more bearable… Oh wait, we do!
If you tend to struggle in the warmer months: with your home being boiling by 9am, your TV being impossible to watch due to the Sun beaming directly onto your screen or even hay fever, we have a window dressing just for you, to help solve that problem!
So, let’s have a look at our best blinds and curtains for thriving at home, during the summer months!
Stop Screen Glare With Our Catania Range
If watching your TV is near impossible thanks to the sun beaming directly onto your TV screen, causing screen flare and glare, you’ll want something to help limit how much direct sunlight enters your home through the windows, so that you can… well actually see what’s happening on the screen.
With a set of our Catania Dimout Roller Blinds, you can keep the interior of your home nice and bright, while avoiding any screen flare, glare or sun in your eyes. Our Catania fabric will filter light coming through, filtering out the majority of it, but letting enough light through that you won’t need to turn on your lights.
Beat The Heat With Our Bosa Reflective Range
Let us set the scene for you, it’s a beautiful Sunny day, you’re relaxing on the sofa, but you’re in a room with a South facing window and the warm Sun is beaming right into your home and causing temperatures to rise. Wouldn’t it be nice if you had a blind that could tell the Sun to leave you alone?
Well, we’ve got a blind for that! Our Bosa Reflective Blackout range of roller blinds is 2nd to none when it comes to keeping your home nice and cool. This fabric comes with a Solar Reflective backing, which will bounce heat from the Sun away from your windows, which will help you keep the interior of your home from turning into a sweat box.
Let In A Breeze, But Not Pollen With Curtains
If you have hay fever, existing during Summertime will give you some tough choices, when the temperature is almost as high as the pollen count, you’re in a no-win scenario. If you open your windows to let in a breeze, you’ll be sneezing like a cartoon mouse in a pepper grinder; but if you keep the windows closed to keep pollen out, you’ll be breaking into a sweat due to the heat.
However, with our curtains you can reach a happy medium. With a set of our dimout curtains on your windows, you can crack the windows to let a breeze in, but if you keep the curtains closed, they will help stop pollen from entering your home, while still allowing a breeze to find its way inside.
Keep Patio Doors Cool With Pleated Blinds
While patio doors are usually a lovely sight during Summer months, as you can peacefully gaze upon your garden from the comfort of your sofa, they do have a downside, being that they will let in so much more heat and sun than any normal window or door. Which can turn your lovely garden view into a home at boiling point in no time.
But with a set of our no drill pleated blinds, you can shade your patio doors and conservatories to help keep the sun out and keep your home nice and cool. With our pleated blinds, you will find that your patio door will let far less heat through, which can drop the temperature in your home by a few degrees.
