With the summer having recently finished, your home will feel a little different when it comes to temperatures and if you have a conservatory, even more so. This is not just because it is naturally cooler in October than in July or August.
Air temperature alone is not the reason for a home feeling very hot in summer. If you have a skylight, the light will be magnified and make everything frazzle underneath. This is why conservatories in particular can get extremely hot.
This leaves two questions. What can you do about it and why now?
Firstly, the good news is that vinyl tape can be just what you need to reduce the UV rays coming through, preventing excessive brightness and also keeping the temperature down. This also offers an unobtrusive alternative to using blinds.
This means you should be asking where you can find a window film fitter near your location, to which the answer is us. But why do it now?
A good reason is that autumn can be a very smart time to get your skylight or conservatory roof checked out ahead of winter. During the summer, the dry weather would not have exposed any flaws or damage. Now that autumn is here and winter is approaching, it is more likely that anything loose could be blown away in a storm and heavy rain will bring leaks.
With Storm Amy having just hit, we are now into storm season and there may be more before long, with the possibility that the south could bear the brunt of the next one instead of more northerly parts of Britain.
That means now is a good time to carry out any repairs and checks you need, so it makes sense to kill two birds with one stone and make now the time when you have the tape added to ensure your skylight is ready for next summer.
Getting it done now also means there is one less thing on the ‘to-do’ list and next year, you can enjoy the benefits of being cooler at a time when climate change is bringing hotter summers.
