In those regions of Russia where the thermometer reaches high levels in the summer season, life becomes especially uncomfortable for a person. Going to the countryside sometimes becomes the only method of saving city residents from stuffiness.
It doesn’t matter if air conditioning is not installed in your country house, because there are simple measures to cool the cottage.
Protecting windows from sunlight
Curtains made of light and translucent materials allow sunlight to pass through perfectly, and therefore help to warm up the rooms in a country house. The most effective at preventing heat from entering a building is a reflective film with a thermal protective function; you can also use roller blinds, cassette blinds and even foil.
Growing climbing plants
Climbing plants are used to protect the walls of a country house from direct sunlight. Thanks to the “natural fabric”, the walls of the building heat up minimally. Landscaping the façade of a cottage not only has a cooling function, but can also improve the appearance of a summer cottage area.
Ventilate the house at the right time through the front door
To prevent hot air from the street from entering the country house, the windows should be kept closed during the day. It is best to ventilate the room through the front door early in the morning and late in the evening. This way the house will be filled with cool fresh air.
Humidify the air in the rooms
A humidifier specially designed for indoor use will help cool the air in your country house.If you don't have such a device, you can use a regular sprayer. It is advisable to wet clean the house in the morning with cool water.
Remove carpets from the floors
If the floors in your summer house are covered with carpets, it's time to remove them (at least for the summer season). Not only do the paths not cool you down in the summer heat, they also collect dust and dirt. But walking barefoot on a cold floor in the heat is a pleasure.
Drink fresh water and eat right
On hot days, you need to drink more water than usual. The best drinks to cool you down are green tea with lemon or mint. It is also recommended to eat fresh fruits, white and green vegetables. It is advisable to refrain from drinking alcohol, high-calorie, fatty and too sweet foods. And lard and honey can additionally warm the body from the inside. So, using the simplest tips for creating coolness in the country, no heat will be scary even in the hottest summer.
