To avoid heat gain, blinds and shutters should be kept closed when it's hot during the daytime. Opening the shading and windows when it's cooler outside will allow the building to ventilate.

Some homes are more prone to heating-up than others, such as hi-rise flats and homes with limited ventilation. By the mid 2030s, 90% of all UK housing could be susceptible to overheating.

As summers get warmer in the UK, shading can help us stay cool, especially when we are sleeping at night. 🌡️

Keeping the heat out this summer.

As UK homes become more insulated to help conserve warmth in the winter, overheating is becoming a consequence during the summer.🌡️☀️

It is normal for blinds and shutters to be closed early in the morning so rooms become a cool refuge.

Shading is all about helping create comfortable indoor environments - especially when you consider we spend most of our time inside.

Blinds, shutters and awnings can help control light levels, and automated shading makes it even easier, especially in hard to reach areas. 🙌

[Don Smith Blinds @DonSmithBlinds]

Shading is a great way to insulate your home from the cold. Research has shown that blinds and shutters can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 33%!

Open your blinds and shutters in the day to make the most of heat from the sun and close them at night to keep you toasty.

Join us in celebrating #GlobalShadingDay on Thursday, March 21

It is an awareness day to highlight the positive benefits of shading products in helping to create sustainable, energy efficient buildings that help retain heat during the winter and reject heat in the summer.

[Don Smith Blinds @DonSmithBlinds]

Spring forward, fall back...
With the clocks going back an hour last Sunday, and with days growing darker for longer, don't forget that closing your blinds and shutters earlier will help trap warmth in your home.
