Summer came, which means that most of us went to summer cottages and suburban areas to relax from the city bustle there. But even where there are no calls, messages and car sirens, rest can be overshadowed.
In hot season, we most like we want to hide in the shade. But what to do if the most shaven place on the site is a house, and it is so stuffy in it that even water and fan do not save? Of course, the problem can be solved by setting the air conditioning. But those for whom the cottage is a place of not a permanent stay but rather a rest on a day off, will hardly go to this step.
You can save a favorable microclimate in the house without the help of air conditioning. It is easy to understand why at home stuffy or hot. Most often, the roof of the house is covered with something like roofing material. Noticed that in the summer in a black car he was hotter than, say, in white or silver? The fact is that nothing attracts solar energy as a dark color. That is why the roof should be covered with something like a reflective or just light material.
If there is no possibility of crossing the roof yet, pay attention to one more factor: light and warmth fall into the house through the window. In order to warm the house to a comfortable temperature, this heat is more than enough. Excess that creates discomfort, it is necessary to weed out. And ordinary curtains can hardly help. If there are through holes between the window frame and the niche, you can pour them with mounting foam. You can stick a reflective film on the windows – it will limit light passing into the room.
If another method. Old windows can simply be replaced with new PVC windows. Firstly: window replacement is a professional installation that a priori guarantees the absence of cracks, leakage and distortions. Secondly: a special coating can be applied to modern windows, which will be in the dose of ultraviolet radiation into the room. And thirdly: all modern windows have an “micro-ventilation” option, which will ensure the circulation of air in the room, even in your absence, allowing not to open windows wide open. This method seems expensive only at first glance. But it will help to save significantly on cooling devices in the summer and on heating – in winter.
In general, a country house should be comfortable in order to go there in winter and in the summer. So, it makes sense to invest in it. And the right roof, and new windows, and much more are those little things that make comfort.
