Afternoon all,


We had our kitchen side return done a few years ago. We are west facing with quite a bit of glass and we are finding it very hot in the summer, particularly this year though I hate complaining about the glorious weather!


We are now looking into blinds / window tints / any other solition to deflect the sun from the glass. Has anyone else on here had a similar issue and found a solution?


Many thanks in advance!

We don't have an extension but west facing glass doors and our kitchen was like an inferno. We got some of these blinds (the first type on the page, so they don?t have the blackout lining) and they have made such a difference. They can open from the top or the bottom so I can adjust them to let the light in and keep the sun out over the course of the day. They were a bit trickier to fit than the video suggests but I?m really pleased with them.

We have remote control velux blinds on our veluxs - it works fine, so if upgrading i'd recommend this option.


The sliding doors have no blinds but recently we have had these open anyway - and if you also have a front of house window open you will create a flow through of air

Open the fridge. Buy two more fridges and open them too. Sit in an arc of open fridges and bask.*







*Some carping folk will say this just increases global warming but as it gets hotter you just buy more fridges boosting industry and staying cool at the same time (you can always give away your pets/children to offset your growing carbon footprint)

    • I was amazed to see a young nuthatch crawling headfirst down a the trunk of a tree in my garden to bully the great tits and blue tits off the bird feeders yesterday.  Didn't expect to see one this far from the woods.
    • some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council https://www.hcpc-uk.org/about-us/who-we-regulate/the-professions/ Dietician is registered and protected Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc  
    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
