Do Curtains Reduce Heat?
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.
