Recently, the air temperature often feels hot. This is an annual phenomenon during the transition season. To overcome the hot air temperature, you certainly look for ways to feel comfortable, including when you are at home.
Many things can be done, from enjoying cold drinks to the easiest thing, which is cooling a room with an air conditioner. Although using an AC is not cheap and not everyone can afford it at home. However, you can do some of the following ways to make your home cool.
Using light-colored paint
A way you can make your home cool is by choosing the paint color for the house walls. Using light-colored paint on the house walls will bring a cooling effect. Also apply light-colored paint to your home's exterior walls. This is because bright colors can reflect sunlight, so the walls do not absorb it and cause the room to feel hot.
For your home's exterior wall paint, use Sunguard All-In-One. This exterior wall paint can withstand heat, lower room temperature by 5 degrees Celsius, making it cooler, and the paint color does not easily fade due to excellent protection against UV rays.
Smart use of lighting
In fact, turning off lights is a simple thing you can do to lower room temperature. Therefore, minimize the use of indoor lights, especially during the day. Besides saving electricity, this method will certainly help make the room cooler.
Use thick curtains
You can use thick curtains to block sunlight from entering the room, so the room temperature will naturally decrease.
Also pay attention to curtain selection; choose neutral-colored curtains with a white plastic lining. Curtains like these can reduce heat by up to 33%.
Try using an exhaust fan
An exhaust fan is a device that functions to accelerate air circulation in the house. Its working process involves sucking air from inside the room to be expelled, and at the same time drawing fresh air from outside into the room. You can use this tool to make rooms cool, especially for kitchens and bathrooms. Exhaust fans can also regulate the volume of air to be circulated into the room.
Change bed sheets and pillowcases
A way to cool down your room is by changing your bed sheets and pillowcases. Cotton material can be the best choice, as cotton is more breathable, keeping its surface cool.
These are some ways you can make your home cooler despite the hot weather that has been frequently experienced lately. Hope this helps and is useful!
