Roof windows or skylights bring in natural light and fresh air, saving electricity that would otherwise have to be used for air conditioning and lighting. Then what about the warm months? You can’t afford to either let the unbearable heat in or expose your furniture to harsh sunlight. This way, you’d have to change your furniture often, and you end up not saving much.
The solution is to install blinds on the windows. They filter sunlight and block the harmful UV rays from entering into your room. There are many options in the style of window coverings. The blinds are usually metallic, fabric or wooden in nature. Owing to their wide variety, you are assured that your windows have a set of customizable blinds out in the market.
Using the blinds wisely also saves up on energy and money. Roll-up blinds are an economical option, and they get easier when you have or can make for a cord to operate them from ground. If you want a user-friendly option and can afford some more expenditure, go for power-driven blinds that come with a remote control. Periodic cleaning of the blinds is necessary and you can either use a ladder or better, a feather duster with a long handle to do this.
