Being aware that comfort matters as much as decoration for a space is essential. Keeping a space's temperature at the right level is very important for the healthy time spent there. Taming the scorching heat of summer and creating cool, airy spaces is possible by choosing and applying the right cooling products or methods.

Natural Solutions

Achieving natural coolness through a few design decisions, instead of using any cooling product, is one of the first methods to turn to, both economically and in terms of environmental awareness. It should also be remembered that it is definitely more advantageous for health than the other options. With expert support you can cool your space using passive cooling techniques, and reaching the coolness you want with a few simple design decisions and methods is not difficult at all.

1 – Opening doors/windows facing different directions to create an air channel is the method we all know and perhaps the most commonly used for getting air moving inside a space.

2 – Keeping the windows closed with thick (blackout) curtains during the day also prevents sunlight from entering and raising the temperature of the space.

3 – Choosing marble, ceramic and concrete equivalents for the materials used in the space helps create cooler environments, since these materials do not retain heat.

4 – Natural materials such as bamboo, linen and jute are indispensable for coping with the heat.

5 – Placing large plants in front of windows contributes to creating a cool area in their shade, beyond their impressive look.

6 – Using solar reflective film on windows is another option. Thanks to its ability to filter up to 80% of sunlight, excess heat indoors can be prevented.

Alternative Solutions

Cooling products, which vary in features and come in many different types, are among the readily available alternatives for creating cool air in a space. As long as they are used in a controlled and conscious way, these products can be effective, and beyond their function you can also choose them for features that add to your décor and give them a say in the look of your space.

Fan

The fan, which creates a feeling of coolness by stirring the air with a moving blade system, is a machine with many different models and options that we often turn to when fighting hot weather. Although it cannot create cold air, it naturally creates a cooling sensation because it can quickly evaporate the moisture on our bodies. With its fixed and portable options, it can be used wherever you like.

Ceiling Fan

The ceiling fan, the version of the fan mounted on the ceiling and often enhanced with extra functions such as lighting, helps create an even coolness thanks to the air circulation it provides from above. When choosing a ceiling fan, which is regaining its former popularity today, the material quality and the height of the ceiling where it will be installed should not be overlooked for a healthy experience.

Air Conditioner

The air conditioner, the first product that comes to mind when air conditioning is mentioned, is a very comprehensive machine that cools the air, removes humidity, filters dust and particles, and can provide heat. Although people keep their distance from it because it can have negative effects on health, it is perhaps the easiest way to cope with summer heat. To benefit from the advantages of the air conditioner, whose energy consumption can be reduced and maintenance costs lowered thanks to advancing technology, it is important to pay attention to a few points. Setting the air conditioner 7-8 degrees below the outdoor temperature, not directing the airflow straight at the body and turning the air conditioner off before sleeping are some of the points to watch.
