Attic protection against heating

Utility attic rooms, among everyone in the house, are most exposed to excessive heating. They affect the windows and the entire roof space. 80% window panes are responsible for raising the temperature at home. In the attic, we have to protect them extremely effectively because the roof also warms up, and we want to minimize this effect.

Why is it so important to protect attic rooms from the sun? This is mainly due to their function. An attic is often a very special home space, intended only for the family. Down is everyday duties, meeting friends, movement and noise. Attic is intimacy, peace and rest. There are most often bedrooms, children's rooms, dressing rooms and bathrooms intended only for the hosts. We often move to the attic only in the evening; imagine such an evening after a whole day of heat. It's scary to think.

Shields to protect the attic from heating

We already know why it is so important to effectively protect the attic space from heating. The question remains how to do it. The answer is simple - choose appropriate window covers. The most effective are external shields - classic and screen type. As the name suggests, they are mounted on the outside of the window. In this way, we create a kind of armor protecting the window. How it's working? The roller blind does not touch the glass and thus protects it from touching the rays, taking all the heat on itself. The heated and unprotected pane is the main cause of overheated interiors, just think about the car left in the sun and we know what's going on.

The difference between the classic external blind and the screen blind is the material from which they were made. The classic ones are made of high-quality sheet metal while the screen is made of fiberglass covered with PVC. They function identically when it comes to protection from the sun - they stop the sun's rays from the windowpane and thus maintain a pleasant coolness in the attic rooms. However, they differ in terms of additional functions. Screen blind netting does not completely obscure the room, diffusing the light. In practice, this means that using the attic rooms during the day we do not need to use artificial light. We also see what is happening outside. In turn, classic external blinds are an additional protection against noise, which may be important when we live in a busy part of the city. They also have anti-burglary functions.
