In summer, when the temperature outside is high, we seek respite in our own interiors. Especially flats situated on a south-facing side are prone to overheating. If you don’t want to invest in an air conditioner, whether for ecological, financial or personal reasons, you have to look for an effective alternative. Screens may be the perfect solution.
Screens – characteristics
Screens combine aesthetic qualities and functionality. They reduce overheating of the room and are available in numerous variants. We can decide for ourselves whether we want to completely black out a room or prefer to use a more transparent fabric and invite some more light and sunshine into our interior. Screens also have a feature that gives them an advantage over air-conditioning – apart from cooling down the room, they also protect us from excessive lighting, whether while working at the computer or relaxing. Screens are also a decorative element of the external part of a building – they impact the individual character of a room and change the perception of our house as a whole. If we choose screens, we can be certain of their reliability and resistance to adverse weather conditions. All this is due to their special construction. In addition, they are also easy to clean, which makes them a very convenient solution. Screens are easy to use and are controlled automatically. Thanks to this, we can operate them even from our bed. Interestingly, the screens can also act as a mosquito net. Effective protection against insects during long summer evenings is an additional motivation to use this solution.
Thanks to the screens, we gain:
- effective protection against overheating of the room,
- the possibility of regulating the level of light in our interior,
- protection against insects (additional option),
- convenient control,
- decorative element for our home,
- pro-ecological solution.
Screens vs. air conditioning – comparison
Air conditioning is becoming more and more popular in Polish homes, mainly due to its comfort and the ability to control the temperature level. Until now, air conditioning has been used in office space, shops or other public areas. Many people, when choosing air conditioning in their own home, do not realise that its proper functioning requires systematic servicing, as well as proper care for its functioning. Unfortunately, due to these oversights, very often a mouldy air conditioner contributes to the deterioration of health of its users. Air conditioning is also a solution which will increase our energy consumption and thus force us to pay higher bills. It is certainly not a very ecological solution that would contribute to savings for our household budget.
Screens, on the other hand, give us the opportunity to control not only the temperature of our interior, but also the level of brightness. Thanks to this we will save on the use of electricity, we will make our contribution to protecting the environment, or at least we will not be contributing to its degradation. Screens also have the advantage of reducing the use of the artificial light. This is very important not only for our eyes, but also for our mental health. We are exposed to artificial light on a daily basis, whether while working using a computer or visiting shopping centres. Screens make it possible to determine for ourselves the level of sunlight in our interiors which will be beneficial for us. This eliminates the need to completely black out the room and switch on artificial light during the day.
Screens are an excellent solution for all those who value comfort, economy and environmentally friendly solutions. As their popularity increases, many variants and options have appeared on the market, so everyone can find something they like.
