The excruciating heat of the sun has become more unbearable each passing day. I am afraid that there will come a time that all of us will be wearing clothes made from the same material used to make the fireman’s uniform-asbestos. It may sound absurd but going out without any protection such as an umbrella feels like being grilled or burned alive just like what happened to me and my cousin recently when decided to hit the beach. The beach is only one block away from their house so other than the sunscreen lotion, we did not bring any umbrellas. We underestimated the heat of the sun so we end up getting our skin burned rather than getting a tan.
Thankfully, their house is surrounded with a lot of trees. The trees give a natural cooling effect which no air-conditioning unit can even give. Their windows are similar to ours which is really wide for good ventilation. The windows are also protected with Bahama style shutters. The Bahama style shutters are common decorations found in every home in tropical places, especially near the coast. The exterior window shutters do not only offer good ventilation as the exterior shutters allow the cool air to pass through. It also offers privacy and protection against burglars. Aside from these benefits, these exterior window shutters offer protection from direct sunlight without compromising the exterior design of your home. In addition, the Bahama style shutter is a great addition to every home.
Air-conditioning units, fans, and other cooling devices are common home appliances which can provide comfort in this extremely hot weather condition. However, if there are trees surrounding your place just like my cousin's home, the cooling system is not a problem. The trees are the best cooling system our mother nature can provide. All you need is just the Bahama style shutters to provide your home with not just good ventilation but natural cool air which only the trees can provide.
