Beating The Heat With Window Shades

Beating The Heat With Window Shades
Even your air conditioning will only work when it is favorable inside. If there is
too much sun coming in from one end or there is too much latent heat trapped in
your room, you won’t find bliss in the cool of your AC at all. In a city like
Manhattan shades and window treatments are a must because you can’t even be
running your air conditioning on full speed nonstop during summer. There are
many kinds of window treatments NYC shops have to offer for your home but
not all of them will suit your needs. You have to be clever with the use of curtains
and shades, blinds and other window treatments so that you can keep your home
cool and your electricity bills in control.
Intelligent Awnings
Window awnings are a clever option in Manhattan. Shades and curtains too let you
control the heat that your home receives but with awnings you can easily reduce
solar heat gain in your house by up to 65%. For best results during summer season
and especially during those peak weeks where the sun is scorching hot, you should
choose awnings in all the light colors and shades. They will be able to reflect more

sunlight and thus ward off more heat.
Cool Curtains and Drapes
Another very useful window treatment NYC citizens like to employ is the thick
curtains and drapes. These are ideal for your home on those piping hot summer
days. These can be found in the most velvety and smooth textures that remain cool
even after remaining before the sun for hours and you can keep them closed for as
long as the sun is harsh without damaging their color. According to studies,
medium colored window treatments NYC with white plastic backings are able to
reduce heat gain by 33%. So, have you picked out your shades and drapes yet?
