The arrival of summer and the high temperatures cause more and more heat in the houses and on certain days the situation can become unsustainable. One of the causes of climate change is the rise in temperatures year after year and therefore it is necessary that we protect our home from solar radiation if we want to spend a quiet summer.The continuous emission of greenhouse gases causes the surface of our planet to warm up. Since 2014 every year has been hotter than the previous and there are no forecasts that the situation will change. If you do not stop this situation Madrid could get to have the temperature of Las Vegas. Given these data, the most consistent thing is that we worry about having our house well protected.The use of eaves is the most common to protect the sun. These small roofs that protrude about one meter above the windows or also cover the facades are perfect due to excessive solar radiation. It is noteworthy that they are able to reduce the effects of this radiation up to 40% and therefore we would feel better. On the city floors is more complicated to install but for single family homes are a perfect solution.Using awnings to protect yourself from the heat is an idea known to everyone. Unfortunately, people only have the habit of opening them when they see that the sun starts to hit hard. This is a complete mistake, since the sun is going to warm up all day and not exclusively when we see it. That is why it is best to have it extended most of the time during hot days and choose a white color as they have a greater effectiveness.Through the color of our home we can also obtain greater protection against solar radiation. The white color is reflective and also heats less, which will cause us to save when trying to refresh our house. It is important that we take it into account to have greater well-being in our home.Using adjustable blinds and slats is, apart from aesthetic, very effective at the effects of the sun. Apart from avoiding that we have excessive heat in our home they will allow light to enter. The good thing about being able to regulate is that we can place them at any time in the way that suits us best.Nor can we forget that through the pergolas and a leafy vegetation we can achieve a greater sensation of freshness. If we can grow leaves that cover the entire pergola we will be mostly protected.
