Cooling Solutions for Open-Plan Living

Open-plan living areas offer a modern and spacious feel, perfect for socialising and enjoying family time. However, cooling these larger spaces during hot summer months can be a challenge. Fortunately, Goldair has a variety of cooling solutions designed to keep your open-plan home comfortable and refreshing. Here are some of the best ways to effectively cool your open-plan living spaces.

1. Powerful Tower Fans

Goldair’s tower fans are an excellent choice for open-plan areas. With their sleek design and powerful airflow, these fans can effectively circulate cool air throughout larger spaces. Position a tower fan near the main seating area or close to windows to maximise airflow and create a pleasant breeze. Many models feature adjustable settings and oscillation features, allowing you to direct airflow precisely where you need it.

2. Portable Air Conditioners

For more intense cooling, consider a portable air conditioner from Goldair. These units are easy to move and can quickly cool down large areas, making them ideal for open-plan living. Simply place the unit in a central location, and it will effectively lower the temperature across the entire space. Look for models with programmable settings, so you can set them to operate when you need them most, ensuring energy efficiency.

3. Ceiling Fans with Reverse Functionality

If your open-plan area has high ceilings, installing a ceiling fan can help circulate cool air effectively. Goldair’s ceiling fans come with reverse functionality, allowing you to use them in both summer and winter. During summer, set the fan to spin counterclockwise to create a cooling downdraft. This can work in tandem with air conditioning, allowing you to set your thermostat higher while still enjoying a cool environment.

4. Cross-Ventilation

Take advantage of natural airflow by creating cross-ventilation. Open windows and doors on opposite sides of your open-plan space to encourage a refreshing breeze. You can enhance this effect by using Goldair fans to help move the cool air throughout the room. This method is particularly effective during the cooler parts of the day, helping to reduce the temperature without relying solely on mechanical cooling.

5. Strategic Placement of Cooling Appliances

When cooling an open-plan living area, the placement of your cooling appliances is key. Position your air conditioner or fan in a way that allows it to circulate air throughout the space without obstruction. Avoid placing fans or air conditioners near heat sources, such as direct sunlight from windows or appliances that emit warmth. Consider using thermal curtains to block out sunlight during the hottest parts of the day, which will help keep your space cooler.

6. Use Cooling Towels

For a personal cooling solution, consider using cooling towels. These products can provide instant relief from the heat when you’re in the open-plan area, making them a great addition to your summer comfort routine.

7. Maintain Your Cooling Devices

To ensure optimal performance from your Goldair cooling devices, regular maintenance is essential. Clean filters, remove dust, and check for any obstructions to maximise airflow. This will not only improve efficiency but also prolong the lifespan of your appliances.

By incorporating these cooling solutions into your open-plan living space, you can create a comfortable and inviting environment during the hot summer months. Goldair’s range of cooling products provides effective options for maintaining a pleasant atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy your spacious living area without overheating.
