Living in a country with a tropical climate, hot weather is not something unfamiliar. To make your home's temperature cool, it's not uncommon to use the help of an Air Conditioner (AC). High-intensity AC usage certainly greatly affects the electricity bill borne each month. As a result, sometimes you think that AC is not the solution!
Well, to make your home cool and comfortable without needing to use AC, you can try the following tips.
1. Create high ceilings in your home
This method is indeed a classic one, but believe it or not, it is the most effective way to create a room with a cool and comfortable atmosphere.
High ceilings not only maximize air circulation entering the house but also make the house feel more spacious and comfortable.
2. Maximize ventilation use
Try to create ventilation in several parts of the house. For example, making holes in the roof in a triangular or square shape. The number of ventilation holes can also be adjusted to the climate of your surrounding environment.
If you live in a densely populated urban area where hot air is quite dominant, then create more ventilation holes to help improve air circulation for the house.
3. Heat-resistant material
If your home still feels hot even with high ceilings and ventilation, there's no harm in switching to heat-resistant material. This heat-resistant material can keep the indoor temperature cool and functions as protection from the sun's UV radiation. Generally, this heat barrier comes in colored sheets that can be very effective in protecting buildings from heat.
4. Use special wall paint
If you want to create a cool and shady impression for your home, you can do it by using bright exterior paints such as sea blue and green. These two colors can create a bright impression without feeling hot.
If there is a room facing south or east, this condition can cause the intensity of sunlight entering the room to increase compared to other directions.
To properly address this issue, paint the exterior walls frequently exposed to direct sunlight with Sunguard All-In-One. Besides adding color to the walls, it also protects the house walls from heat and keeps them cool.
Sunguard All-In-One is formulated to protect exterior walls from extreme weather conditions, including resisting heat, making room temperatures 5 degrees Celsius cooler. In addition, Sunguard All-In-One also has an elastic layer that can perfectly cover hairline cracks. Another capability is keeping house walls clean, free from mold and moss.
5. Minimize partitions within the house
A larger house will feel more spacious and cool when occupied. Try and prove it by removing the partition between your living room and family room.
These are some ways you can make your home cool without wasting electricity by using AC all the time. Hopefully, it's useful!
