Choosing A Transparent Roof That Can Keep You Cool - Tuflite Polymers With summers here and the heat waves increasing day by day, the temperature rise is hitting the world badly. This is when people resort to artificial cooling options like fans, coolers, and air conditioners. While fans are alright, but coolers and air conditioners are just not right for health. Running coolers and air conditioners throughout the day is also not a cost-effective solution. The energy bills shoot up significantly.
Moreover, to stay within such cool premises, people rush to stay indoors all day long, making them lazy and obese. Amidst fighting against the heat, people forget how important it is for our body and skin to get apt amount of sunlight. Keep a plant within a closed room without sunlight for a day, and look at the result. This is the same thing that will happen to us if we confine ourselves to staying
indoors. Although it may not affect us immediately, it will slowly and gradually eat up on our physical and mental health.
Why is sunlight important? The sunlight helps a person’s skin to create Vitamin D, which plays a big role in bone health. Low Vitamin D levels in the body can cause rickets and bone-wasting diseases. Also, sunlight helps to increase the brain’s release of a hormone called Serotonin, which is responsible for boosting mood, and helping a person feel calm and focused; thus helping keep one away from feeling depressed and low. You can thus see how sunlight is important for both physical and mental health.
What you should do Now that you can see, sunlight is really important for the body. But, because of the scorching heat, one can't afford to spend more than a few minutes out in the sun. So, what do you do then? Well, the best way is by installing polycarbonate roofing sheets over your structure. Having a polycarbonate roof helps one stay indoors, while also enjoying the sun’s light. You could have a special sunroom built completely of polycarbonate, where you can spend your daytime under the sun, while staying protected against the heat outside. Another way to enjoy the sun is by installing extended polycarbonate sheds outside your bungalow’s space, where you can have leisure time with your favourite drink and a book to read. Lastly, if there is no way you can have a complete sunroom, or an outdoor extended shed, what you can do is install a small skylight in
your very own existing roof. This will help a good amount of sun’s light to come into your very own room – the one you use on a regular basis.
How to keep the heat out? So, we have told you how to keep yourself under the sun’s light without going outdoors. But, we also understand that any transparent roof bringing in sunlight can definitely make a room comparatively hotter too. So, how do you keep the heat out? While you cannot keep the room entirely cool, without the use of additional cooling equipment like air conditioners and coolers, there certainly are a few ways you can control the heat build-up under a polycarbonate roof.
You can keep the height of the roof raised, higher than normal. By raising the roof’s height, you move any warm air further above the regular height. One easy way is to opt for a gable design roof. You must have good ventilation that invites a cross-breeze. Keeping opposite gable ends open will allow any warm air to easily escape out. You can use good quality polycarbonate roofing sheets from Tuflite Polymers, especially designed to reduce the amount of heat that enters the structure. Or, you could choose to install textured and patterned roofs that will reduce the bright shine of the sun that is heating up your space. Another wise option is choosing a multiwall polycarbonate roof
