Tips for keeping holiday lodges cool

Brits get a lot of mockery for our fascination with the weather. We also get a fair bit for not being able to handle it when it’s hot. The truth is it gets really humid here and a pleasant mid 20s can quickly become sticky and uncomfortable. Luckily, we can do different things to keep cool, even when staying in a holiday lodge or caravan. We want to have a look at some tips here. Then, if you want to browse the finest lodges for sale in Northallerton, you can look at Parklands.

Cross breeze

One of the best things you can do is create a cross breeze. Open windows and/or doors at each side of the lodge or caravan. It will allow the air to blow inside, flow through the interior, and then escape out the other side. This will keep fresh, cooler air flowing in and get rid of warmer air.

Curtains or blinds

It might sound counter-productive, but closing the curtains or blinds on the sunny side of your lodge or caravan can help with cooling. It can reduce the amount of solar heat radiating in.

Outdoor space

It’s always nice to have a shady area outside where you can sit if it gets too hot inside a lodge or caravan. So, an umbrella or gazebo and comfy chairs are a good investment. If you have a deck, setting up here is a great idea.

Fans

One of the things that stands out with the lovely lodges for sale in Northallerton at Parklands is the quality of the designs. They have wonderful interiors with high spec fittings. You will appreciate the number of sockets in summer, because you’ll have plenty of places you can plug in fans to circulate air and keep it cooler. Just remember to think about how much energy they use and whether they are safe if children are around.

Air con

If you want to invest in a reliable, energy efficient solution, you may be able to get air conditioning for your holiday lodge or caravan. Portable units are good because you can move them room to room to suit your needs. Again though, make sure you think about energy consumption and running costs.

Bedding

Light, thin, airy bedding is a must for hot summer months, especially in a lodge or caravan. You definitely won’t need that thick winter duvet, even on the coldest days. Materials with natural fibres are great. Or, choose a modern material that can offer moisture wicking and breathability.

Temporary relief

Finally, it can help to have some cooling spray ready. Sprays are great when it is humid. A quick spray can help you or a room to cool down. Focus on the face, hands and feet; cooling them can work wonders.
