Dubai's summers are definitely too hot and muggy. It's crucial that you shield yourself from the sun's harmful rays to prevent sunstroke, especially in the height of summer.
In addition to taking care of yourself, you must maintain your Dubai property to make it practically summer-proof. For this reason, you should put some property maintenance advice into practice. In the same way that Dubai's hot and muggy weather affects us, it can also negatively impact your property, which is a valuable asset, if you fail to take proper care of it.
Not sure how to go about it? At Vardhman Realty, we understand the importance of a well-renovated home to combat the heat while maintaining comfort and style. Check out these practical property maintenance suggestions to make your Dubai home summer-proof:
Select A Material Palette That Is Naturally Cooling
A more balanced color scheme of earthy tones and organic materials like concrete has more thermal mass. By slowly absorbing, storing, and releasing heat, it helps to passively regulate a building's temperature, making the area colder in the summer. Lime plaster is also the same. Because lime plaster is effective at both absorbing and releasing moisture, living spaces become better and more comfortable. These plasters also have the advantage of being an environmentally friendly and sustainable product. The space stays cooler in the summer because concrete surfaces release the heat they absorb during the day and hold onto it during the night.
Furthermore, choose upholstery made of natural materials like cotton or linen. Plus, linen is a great way to add earthy aesthetics and visual interest to your space because it comes in a wide variety of textures.
Good Insulation does miracles
Good insulation can keep heat out of your house if you're on a tight budget. To reflect sunlight, you can install double-pane glass in place of your single-pane windows, or at the very least, tint your current window. likewise, if you're looking to buy a house in Dubai, one of the things you should inspect is the windows. Find out what kind of window the builders used, as this could have an impact on both your comfort and the ventilation of the house, particularly in the summer.
Purchase Some Indoor Plants:
Villas and parks frame properties in areas like Palm Jumeirah, and a number of other communities. If your house is not in one of these neighborhoods, you can still add some greenery to your interior decor by bringing some indoor plants in. The best option if you own a villa is to put outdoor plants on your lawn.
It will not only make your house look better, but it will also keep the area cool. You can choose from a wide variety of plants, both indoors and outdoors. If you struggle to carve out time for gardening, try getting low-maintenance ones.
Reevaluate your lighting layout and energy usage.
The amount of heat produced in your home increases with the number of electronic devices you use. Even though we can't live without many of these devices, we can control or minimize how much we use them. The best way to stay cool during the sweltering summer months is to make the most of natural light. In addition to saving energy, motion-activated lights help prevent overuse of lighting in a house. Installing dimmer switches to help maximize energy efficiency, change the lighting, and create different moods throughout the day.
Many people look forward to the summer months of the year in the hopes of getting some much-needed rest. However, it's also a great chance to get out your toolbox and do some home renovations. Before the first leaves fall from your backyard trees, you might want to take up the mantle and try your hand at some do-it-yourself projects to improve the appearance of your house.
The aforementioned projects could serve as a solid foundation for your home renovation project. Even though not all of them are simple to finish, they have many advantages that are difficult to ignore.
