Ah, summertime…
The days are longer.
The sun is shining.
What’s a better way to take advantage of summer than enjoying a cozy stay in your gorgeous sunroom?
But when that heat starts beating down hard on your windows, your sunroom can become a real oven!
Today, we’ll show you several ways to keep your sunroom cool and comfy during the hottest months of the year.
So, grab yourself a cool, refreshing iced tea and let’s dive in, shall we?
Break Out the Fans
When it comes to cooling your sunroom during the summertime heat, using fans can work wonders to disperse excessive heat.
A ceiling fan is often the most effective solution. It can be used alongside the air conditioner, or on its own, improving air circulation throughout the area.
If installing a ceiling fan isn’t an option, then portable fans can still do a lot of good.
Since cooler air is more dense than warm air, it’s helpful to place fans lower to the floor to better circulate air throughout the room. And if your sunroom has the option to open windows from the top down, this can create a useful vent for hotter air to escape as the cooler air is drawn in from below.
Install Some Blinds
You may want to consider installing blinds, especially insulated ones, to help block out the harshest light and heat.
By reducing the amount of direct sunlight that enters your sunroom, you’ll notice a significant difference in the overall temperature.
There are numerous styles of blinds available, with options ranging from manual to motorized. But don’t worry about sacrificing the beauty of your sunroom for functionality. Choose blinds that still allow light to filter in, ensuring that you can still enjoy one of the best parts of your sunroom: the sun!
Choose Light Colors
When it comes to decorating your sunroom, it’s important to pick materials that not only look great but also help keep things cool. That’s why using light-colored flooring, finishes, and furniture is highly recommended.
Darker hues absorb heat from the sun’s rays, causing the room temperature to increase.
With lighter shades, on the other hand, (such as whites, beiges, or pastels), they reflect back the heat. Plus, with a nice selection of light-colored pieces, you can create a welcoming atmosphere that encourages relaxation and leisure.
Aim for the Best Quality
