Your windows are like that friend who says they’ll keep a secret, but then blabs everything to the sun. During the day, they let in all that heat like a VIP pass for summer. The fix? Close the curtains, blinds, or shades—especially on the side where the sun is doing its worst.
But here’s the trick: blackout curtains are your best pals. They block heat like a bouncer at a club. And if you don’t have those? A simple white sheet or aluminum foil on the glass can work. Yes, you’ll look a little crazy, but you’ll also be cool—literally.
Windows Are for Nighttime Parties
Once the sun goes down, it’s party time for your windows. Open them wide and let the cool night air flood in. If you live in an area where it’s still a sauna at midnight, create a cross-breeze. Open windows on opposite sides of your house, and boom—you’ve got a natural fan system.
Pro tip: If you have a fan, stick it in one window facing out. It’ll pull the hot air out like a vacuum cleaner for humidity. You’re welcome.
