It is necessary to be aware that comfort is as important as decoration for a space. The correct temperature level of the space is of great importance for the healthy time spent in that space. It is possible to control the scorching heat of summer and create cool and airy spaces by correctly determining and applying cooling products or methods.
Natural Solutions
Instead of using any cooling product, providing natural coolness with some design decisions is one of the methods that should be used both economically and in terms of environmental awareness. It should not be forgotten that it is definitely more advantageous for health compared to other options. With expert support, you can cool your space with passive cooling techniques, and it is not difficult to reach the coolness you desire with some simple design decisions and methods.
1 – Creating an air duct by opening doors/windows in different directions is perhaps the most commonly used method we all know to ensure air circulation within the space.
2 – Keeping windows closed with thick (blackout) curtains during the day prevents sunlight from entering and increasing the temperature of the space.
3 – Choosing the materials used in the space from marble, ceramic and concrete equivalents helps create cooler environments as these materials do not retain heat.
4 – Natural materials such as bamboo, linen and jute are essential for coping with the heat.
5 – Placing large plants in front of windows not only provides impressive visuals but also contributes to the creation of a cool area in the shade of the plants.
6 – Using sun-reflecting film on windows is another option. Thanks to its ability to filter sunlight up to , excess heat can be prevented indoors.
Alternative Solutions
Cooling products, which differ according to their features and come in many different types, are among the alternatives that can be easily obtained to create cool air in the space. You can choose these products, which can be effective as long as they are used in a controlled and conscious manner, with features that will contribute to your decoration in addition to their function, and you can have a say in the visuality of your space.
Fan
The fan, which creates a feeling of coolness by waving the air thanks to its moving propeller system, is a machine that we often encounter when fighting hot weather, with many different models and options. Although it does not have the ability to create cold air, it naturally creates a feeling of coolness because it has the ability to quickly evaporate the moisture in our body. It can be used wherever you want with its fixed and portable options.
Ceiling Fan
The ceiling fan, which is the version of the fan that is mounted on the ceiling and is mostly detailed by adding extra functions such as lighting, is very helpful in creating a homogeneous coolness thanks to the air circulation it provides from above. When choosing a ceiling fan, which is regaining its former popularity today, paying attention to the material quality and the ceiling height where it will be positioned should not be overlooked for a healthy experience.
Air conditioning
The first product that comes to mind when it comes to air conditioning is the air conditioner, which is a very comprehensive machine that cools the air, dehumidifies it, filters dust and particles, and provides heat. Although it is kept at a distance because it can have negative effects on health, it is perhaps the easiest method to cope with the summer heat. In order to benefit from the advantages of air conditioning, which can provide energy savings and reduced maintenance costs thanks to advancing technology, it is important to pay attention to some points. Some of the points to be careful about are setting the air conditioner temperature 7-8 degrees lower than the outside temperature, not directing the air flow directly to the body, and turning off the air conditioner before sleeping.
