As the summer months approach, many people look for ways to keep their homes cool without relying entirely on air conditioning. One simple and cost-effective method is the use of curtains. This article will explore how curtains can reduce heat and provide a more comfortable living space.

How Curtains Reduce Heat
Blocking Sunlight: Curtains act as a barrier to the sun's rays, preventing them from heating up your room. By closing the curtains during the hottest part of the day, you can reduce the temperature inside.

Material Matters: The type of fabric plays a crucial role in how effective the curtains are at blocking heat. Thick, dense materials like velvet or blackout fabrics can block more heat compared to sheer or lightweight fabrics.

Colour Choices: Darker colours tend to absorb more heat, whereas lighter colours reflect it. While dark curtains may block more sunlight, they might also trap more heat. On the other hand, lighter curtains can keep a room cooler by reflecting heat away.

Insulating Properties: Some curtains have a special lining that adds an extra layer of insulation, keeping the heat outside and the cool air inside. These can be particularly effective in maintaining a comfortable temperature.

Are you a trade-based business owner?

Are you a trade-based business owner?

Are you hunched over the kitchen table doing all your paperwork at night and in the weekends?

Or, are you the partner of a trade-based business owner, and you're hunched over the kitchen table doing all their paperwork at night and in the weekends?

Have you considered hiring a Virtual Assistant to take care of your office admin and bookkeeping?

Do you know that hiring a Virtual Assistant is way cheaper than employing another staff member??

I’m a Certified Bookkeeper and Xero advisor, well versed in general office admin, lover of creating and following processes, payroll, paperless offices and possibly slightly OCD about numbers.

I’ve been around trades-based businesses for 20+ years, as an owner and/or office manager, so I know what’s involved in running a trades-based business (and I’m used to bad language and politically incorrect jokes!).

I assist trade-based business owners just like you focus in and on their business - knowing their bookkeeping, payroll and office administration tasks are safe, correct and up-to-date with me.

EMAIL ME TODAY: hello@suegrayva.co.nz to arrange a free 30-minute confidential no-obligation chat, to find out how I can assist you!
