At the end of the month we will have more and more fixed expenses: mortgages, telephones, cars, electricity and gas bills. In addition, as electricity and gas prices continue to rise, many homes are looking for the best options to save and reduce electricity consumption.
The right choice of roller blind fabric choice
Proper use of roller blinds can save 10% to 20% of energy consumption. Depending on the lighting needs of each room, it is important to choose a good roller shutter for the house.
If the room requires a lot of light, we recommend that you lower the roller blinds to let the light through.
If you have a double window: In winter, keep the shutters high to provide as much light and heat as possible and avoid turning on the heater as much as possible.
If you don’t have double-glazed windows: Try lowering and raising the windows based on sunlight; this protects the glass from high cold and does not accumulate so much cold indoors.
Summer: Lower the roller shutter in the early morning to avoid excessive heat build-up. This way you will avoid using the air conditioner completely.
Attic Loft: The roof is the hot part of the house; therefore, it is recommended to place a roller blind in the attic with windows to reduce the ingress of light.
Improve the insulation performance of the house
Proper home insulation can reduce electricity bills by up to 40%. This insulation prevents temperature loss and keeps the temperature stable inside the house, thereby reducing energy consumption for heating or cooling the house.
There are many ways to improve the insulation of a house. For example, the correct use of shade roller shutters and windows can save up to 20% of the cost, and it is also possible to isolate the house from the building by placing foam, boards or panels covering the walls. In short, proper insulation of a house can save electricity and gas costs.
Save energy with natural light
Raising the blinds when you wake up is as easy and simple as opening the windows, saving you money on electricity. Other customs that can help us reduce our energy consumption are: opening blinds and curtains in the presence of sunlight, turning on the lights only when necessary, turning off the lights when no one is, etc.
On the other hand, choosing a good roller blind fabric is very important. The best option is a roller blind with translucent and light-colored fabric. If we paint the house, the colors of the ceiling and walls will be clear. These will increase the brightness of the house. Last but not least, the location of the house. The cost is lower if the house faces south, the house faces completely outside, and there are no high-rise buildings around.
