How to Protect Your Home’s Interior From the Sun

Do you have any end of summer trips planned?   A beach trip or maybe a trip to the big city?

I hope everyone has been enjoying the summer so far.  We’ve taken a few small trips and have played a lot of golf.

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you may have seen some of our silly family pictures.

 

 

The summer brings us a lot of sun and heat which I love!  However, the sun and heat can cause damage to your home’s interior.

Worst yet, your air conditioner runs all-the-time trying to compensate for the heat caused by the sun coming through the windows.

If you are leaving for a trip or even for the day, don’t forget to draw the shades closed to protect your fabrics, furniture, and furnishings from the sun and heat.

 

 

You may notice that when the sun’s glare can’t be blocked, it’s difficult to watch tv, work or rest.

 

 

Without the proper window treatments sometimes you feel exposed and like your living in a fishbowl.

 

 

Just like you need sunscreen and shades to protect your body, your home also needs protection from the sun!
