Keep your house cool with these affordable methods!

How have you and your house been doing during this rainy season so far? Are you and your home protected from these annual home invasions a.k.a the leaks, fungi, and mold. Or are you well prepared and have protected your home from leaks days or even months back before the rainy season.

As we all know, living in a tropical country like Indonesia, we only encountered two-season throughout the year such as the rainy and hot dry season. The legendary quote we all know once said, what comes after the rain is a rainbow. But in a tropical country like ours, hot and humid are what comes next and most of the time, it can affect our productivity. So the question now is, have you prepared yourself and your home for the hot, dry, and humid weather that comes after the rain?

If you have not, here are some tips on how to prepare and protect your home from the destructive heat, with a low budget but high performance and long-lasting! Yes, we called them destructive because besides affecting our productivity, the UV and IR from the sun could also damage our buildings, furniture, and even skin. Simply follow these few tips and you may be worry-free from overheating while chilling or working in the home, or from excessive electricity bills due to the extra use of the air conditioner.

1. Passive Cooling Technic.

One of the natural methods to cool down the room temperature. It may be hard to achieve if the house was built, but it can be planned while thinking of doing renovations. This technic is used to provide a house with good natural air circulation. There are lots of passive design technic, and one of the most commonly used is "cross ventilation". A system that relies on natural air to force cool air from the outside to enter the building through an opening of the house and at the same time forces the hot/warm air from the inside of the house to exit from the other side of the opening, or so we called the exchange of airflow. But do keep in mind that this method only happens if your house has the cross-ventilation layout for air to go through without any blockage. Let's say if your house doesn't fulfill the criteria, then no worries, let's jump into the next tips!

2. Reduce the heat from entering.

The heat from the sun can enter the house in a couple of ways, and one of them is through the windows. It is often to meet homeowners that felt happy because the house is very bright during the day without any need to turn on a light, but at the same time, they feel annoyed as the heat rises up abruptly. Well, this case happens because they have not used windows film on their windows or glass walls. If you happen to be facing the same problem, well we recommend you to use a windows film ASAP! We assure you, there are lots of advantages waiting ahead of you. Besides that, the damaging rays from the sun such as UV and IR could also be rejected up to 100%, and electricity bills could also be reduced up to 50% as the hot temperature in your room could be reduced up to 91% with Reflectofilm.

3. Repelling the heat from the very beginning.

What does this actually mean? well, in order to solve the "heat problems" we first have to prevent it from the main source itself, which is the sun. The heat from the sun was felt in the house because it was absorbed by the buildings through the roof, walls, and windows, which were then released to the interior of the house. This will also worsen if the house has bad air circulations because the heat will be trapped inside for hours or throughout the day. But if we are one step ahead on preventing the heat to be absorbed by applying a heatproof system coat, then your home will stay cool and comfortable.

One product we could recommend to you in preventing excessive heat to absorbed into your home is Leakfree PRO -- a waterproofing and heatproofing system paint. Double protection for a minimum lifetime of 15 years for your home sweet home. Helps in repelling the heat from the sun and at the same time preventing cracks that cause leaks, with an additional feature which is self-cleaning.
