Your skin is covered in oily sunscreen, your hands are in a continuous motion of swatting away flies and your food is drying out. You would love to go inside and escape the sun, but your home is even hotter than it is outside! Victory is here to help, with 5 Ways You Can Stay Cool during the hot weather seasons.   

Top 5 Methods

1. Traditional Awnings

Awnings don't just stop light, they stop the heat from getting into your home. Spray water on your awnings to help you cool your home even further and give you that much-needed relief from the hot Australian sun.

2. Window Tints And Films

Window tints and films can block up to 80% of sunlight without losing your views. That makes your house cooler and will help prevent fading of carpet and others furnishings. You can even get extra privacy with deep tint and a reflective film, or get creative with decorative films.

3. Ziptrak Blinds

Create an extra room and keep cool while enjoying the ambiance of the great outdoors. Apart from sun protection, Ziptrak Blinds also protect you from nasty insects, wind and tropical downpours.

4. Folding Arm Awnings

Folding arm awnings are a great way to stop the direct sun from entering your windows and heating your home. But they aren't just designed for windows. They can be used to create a new living area outside in the hot sun, extend the roof of an existing patio or create some extra shade for your swimming pool.

5. Aluminium Louvres

Folding arm awnings are a great way to stop the direct sun from entering your windows and heating your home. But they aren't just designed for windows. They can be used to create a new living area outside in the hot sun, extend the roof of an existing patio or create some extra shade for your swimming pool.

We understand that every home is different and everyone has different styles, but these tips are our top 5 methods to most effectively deal with the summer heat. Victory Curtains and Blinds have a vast range of options to suit your own personalised home cooling needs.
