Heatwaves often hit for only short periods in the UK. But they can be intense and tend to be difficult to cope with. After all, most of us are used to cooler weather and most homes don't have features such as air conditioning, which you often find in consistently hotter countries. Therefore, when the heat strikes, you need to find effective and quick ways to cool your home. Some products, such as roof coating systems can be installed to cope with the heat, but also have the advantage of protecting your home in winter.
Here are a few tips to get your home feeling cooler.
Roof coatings are often added during the winter months to protect from wind and rain. An added advantage is that they can help reflect the most penetrating of the sun's rays, so your home feels cooler inside. A roof coating can stop your home from warming up too much, so you aren't stuck with a big electricity bill for running fans or portable air-conditioning units.
Installing energy efficient devices products isn't just something that can benefit you during the winter months, some products that help cool your home in the summer include:
These products are often installed in homes that feel damp or leaky, so are sometimes added at the same time as a roof repair coating. When used together they can help your home feel warmer in winter, and cooler in summer.
It's best to stop your home from getting too hot in the first place, rather than trying to cool it down once it has already overheated. In countries with very hot climates, you'll often see homes with shutters to block direct sunlight for this reason. Blinds can have the same effect, and you can quickly and simply close them at times when the room has direct sunlight coming in. Awnings are also an excellent way to cool things down. For certain rooms of your house that may be in direct sun for extended periods they are ideal - as well as giving you a shady spot to sit outside. It's the same sort of principle as using a metal roof coating, you are trying to keep as much sun as possible away from the house, keeping the temperatures as settled as possible.
It's tempting to open all your doors and windows in the summer, but by doing this you're just letting the cool air reach unused rooms. It also allows for the hotter air of the day to replace the cooler night air. Stick to cooling one room at a time, such as the living room or bedroom, so you've got somewhere comfortable to relax.

Excellent all round service. Very professional and meticulous job. Neighbours extremely impressed with the look of our house - (night & day!!) So impressed with everything - great job - Brian & Scott are great workers - thank you.
From the initial contact with Peter the surveyor to Barry and Bob who carried out the work I had complete confidence that the workmanship would be of a high standard. I was not disappointed.
It was a pleasure to have 2 workmen arriving bright & cheery every morning at the specified time. Ryan & Martin were very professional and kept us informed at every stage. Nothing was any bother for them. We would certainly recommend them and your company to family and friends. Passers by have actually commented on the quality of the work.
As far as can be seen at the moment we are extremely pleased with all we have had done. It will take a little time to adjust to it all and see how it wears. We trust that all will be well and the warranty will cover all. Your 2 workmen are a real credit to your company.
Brian and Scott went well over what I expected and were so willing to help me out over anything I asked. If I ever were to get Kingdom Coatings to do additional work, I would ask for them. Thank you.
A very professional company who know exactly what is required to produce a top class job. Their staff are equally professional and work unsupervised to give the client exactly what they are looking for.
The workers explained what was required before starting, making sure we understood the work that was to be carried out. They showed much respect to us as customers. Overall delighted with the work and attitude to those of us who are older and in need of guidance.
A very pleasant experience with NO hassle whatsoever. We are extremely delighted with the finished job and would highly recommend Kingdom Coatings.
Great staff, they just came and got on with the job. No messing about. Very hard working. The lady in the office was great at keeping us informed with what was happening. Overall a good experience. (Walls)
The installers were hard working and polite with a sense of humour. Management and office staff could not be faulted either for going out their way to provide a safe service.
The two men were very polite and have done a great job. You hear so many stories about companies who come to your door trying to sell you things. From Mandy who came to give us a quote to the two lads who did the job, cannot fault them. Very professional.
We have found the service from your company to be of a very high standard and would advise anyone we know to use your company. Both men were extremely polite and helpful. Thank you.
From start to finish we have been very happy with the hard work Brian and Scott have been involved in. Nothing has been a bother to them, and Dave and I have been very impressed that they were always asking if we were happy with the results and indeed we are. (Walls)
I have been well satisfied with the way that the whole job has been tackled and I'm very pleased with the end results.
Professional, pleasant workers. Work was carried out efficiently with no delay during the process. Clean – up of surroundings, driveway, windows etc very good. Overall I'm completely satisfied.
I’m extremely pleased with the work carried out at my house. Greg and Barry are an excellent team. They worked hard the day my roof was cleaned – the weather was baltic but it didn’t phase them. A job well done indeed.
A very hard working team who worked extremely hard and did a great job. They kept me informed at regular intervals during their visits. A thoroughly professional service. Well done!
Very professional, there was no pressure in their approach and their operatives showed their experience and always explained what they were doing and when such an activity was to be carried out.
Extremely pleased. Colour a little lighter than I expected but makes a huge difference to our property. We will recommend Kingdom Coatings to others.
I am extremely satisfied with the way and manner that your personnel showed in carrying out their work. Will only be too happy to recommend your company to anybody that enquires. (Walls)
