Keeping your home cool. What to do about heat in the home?
Summer not only brings sunshine, but also hot temperatures that can put a strain on the indoor climate. Without suitable measures, it can quickly become unbearably hot in your own four faces. Sleeping in the heat in the attic or working from home in a non-air-conditioned office can become torture. But what can you do to combat the heat in your home?
There are numerous ways to keep your home cool - without air conditioning. With the right tips, you can prevent your rooms from heating up too much. Effective solar protection, targeted ventilation and natural shade are just some of the measures that help to keep the room cool and comfortable, even on hot summer days. Let markilux inspire you on how to keep your home pleasantly cool even in summer temperatures.
Tips against heat in the home
As soon as the first rays of sunshine shine longer and more intensely on the house, you quickly notice how the temperature indoors rises. Especially during longer heatwaves, temperatures develop that can be a real problem. When not even airing your home at night can help to cool it down again, the question arises: What can I do to combat the heat in my home? How can I keep my home cool? Ideally even without air conditioning?
One of the most essential tips against heat in the home is to prevent it before the rooms can even heat up. If the sun's rays are blocked before they enter the building through the window and are converted into heat, the living space remains cool and comfortable. Ideally, the home can even be kept cool without air conditioning. Vertical blinds can achieve exactly this effect and are therefore effective sun and anti-glare protection against heat build-up.
Vertical blinds
markilux vertical blinds as solar protection for your windows. As a vertically guided awning, it offers the advantage of being both sun and anti-glare protection in one. Whether the room needs to be completely darkened or light transmission is desired, both are possible thanks to a large selection of awning fabrics. Vertical blinds can be controlled automatically so that the awning always lowers at the right time. This prevents the build-up of heat in the home.

Marquisolettes
The marquisolette is a special type of vertical blind. The upper part of the awning runs perpendicular to the window. The lower part of the awning is set up using drop-arms so that maximum shading can also be achieved below the awning. At the same time, this allows natural light to enter. However, as the awning does not connect to the entire surface of the façade, complete shading cannot always be guaranteed, depending on the sun position or installation situation.
