-
Block Light with Blackout Curtains – Blackout Curtains protect from Sunlight and keep the house cool with insulation as they reduce the heat coming inside from windows and doors. This allows the cooling system to work more efficiently and effectively saving energy.
-
Opt for Light Color Curtains – Light colors absorb less heat and give an airy feel to the space. Light color shades like Beige, white, pastels etc. reflect sunlight rather than absorbing it, so light color curtains help to keep the ambience cool. Light color shades make the space look brighter.
- Layering Curtains – Adding a layer of curtains creates an extra barrier against heat. Combining sheer curtains with blackout curtains allows you to have more control on heat and light. Blackout Curtains can be used to block sunlight and heat while sheer curtains provide privacy and allow airflow.

Ceiling to Floor Curtains – When you cover your windows properly from ceiling to floor and extend it beyond sides, it minimizes the amount of light and heat coming inside and keeps your space cool. Keeping your curtains closed during peak sunlight hours blocks heat from entering.
- Proper Ventilation with Breathable fabrics – Opening your windows during cooler morning and evening hours allows fresh air to circulate in your home. Use curtains made of breathable fabrics for better air circulation when windows are open.
- Maintain Your Curtains – When Curtains are kept clean, they remain free of dust and dirt thus making them more effective in blocking heat and keeping interiors cool. Regular cleaning of curtains through washing, vaccuming or dry cleaning enhances their cooling benefits.
