Hillarys Blinds Contribution To The Environment

Much has been made in the news over the past few years regarding global warming. There is a fear that much of this has come about by humans over consumption of fuels such as electricity and gas. After all, we use it for everything from our cooking and washing to heating and cooling our homes with air conditioning and heating units.

Of course, we all love our home comforts but when planning your interior decoration remember there are things that can be done to enable us all to do o9ur bit to keep greenhouse gases to a minimum.
Part of the answer to this controversy is the way we choose to heat or cool our homes. We can put in whatever we want and then use fuel to alter the temperature. Or, we could act responsibly, and consider what can be done in a more natural way to keep a stable temperature in our homes.

Of course, much of our heat is gained or lost through windows so this is the first place we can look to make sensible changes. Installing shutters such as those from Hillarys Blinds will not only look stunningly gorgeous but are a hugely effective way of keeping the heat out. They don’t use them in the Mediterranean for nothing!

Shutters can be installed in a neutral shade so it doesn’t matter how many times you decorate, your shutters will not need replacing, thus saving more cost to the environment of manufacture. Closing the shutters early in the afternoon will keep out the worst of the heat and mean that air conditioning units don’t have to be run for so long, saving us money on electric bills and saving more pollution from entering the environment.

Another factor to consider for reducing the heat in summer is to use black out blinds from Hillarys Blinds. These are very effective at deflecting the summer sun, keeping your home cooler for longer.
When it comes to the winter and you want to keep more heat in with less use of fuel, try installing lined blinds or curtains and shutting them earlier in the day, keeping in the warmth and reducing the need for artificial heat.

Your home will also benefit in the summer from the use of awnings on the outside, sheltering your windows from the burning summer sun.
Implement all these ideas from Hillarys and you will be doing your bit for the environment by cutting back on the need to use fuels to heat or cool your home.
