This summer, SCG HOME Experience invites you to make your home a comfortable retreat to welcome the heat with various methods tailored for every household. Because the hot weather is something we cannot ignore, and the comfort of family members is of utmost importance. Additionally, the beauty of the home is just as crucial as its functionality. Therefore, this new home makeover should achieve both aesthetic appeal and a cool atmosphere.

Understanding the Nature of Heat Inside the Home

Before we tackle the heat, we must first understand the climate of Thailand to address the problem at its source. The sunlight in Thailand comes from the east, arcs to the south in the afternoon, and then sets in the west. This means that the south and west sides of the house will accumulate heat throughout the day. Therefore, these areas should have light and heat filtering measures in place before the heat enters the home, such as planting shade trees, installing balconies or trellises, and applying window films. Additionally, using thermal insulation in the walls can help reduce the direct transfer of heat into the house.

About 75% of heat inside the house comes from the roof due to its large surface area exposed to direct sunlight and the nature of heat rising. To cool the home and create good air circulation, we often see the implementation of double-volume spaces to keep living areas comfortable. This includes leaving ventilation gaps under the roof and installing thermal insulation in the roof and ceiling.

It would be even better if this home makeover not only enhances the beauty of the house but also creates a comfortable space that promotes happiness and quality of life for all family members. We invite you to explore which cooling solutions are suitable for your family's home.

Solutions for a Cooler Home

Innovations in architecture and living conditions have been continuously developed to meet the needs of Thai households in humid tropical climates while maintaining beauty, truly embodying the concept of physical and mental well-being. This is also a key goal of SCG HOME, which aims to enhance the quality of life for people within homes they can be proud of.

This time, we want to introduce you to various cooling solutions and innovations that differ according to the conditions of each unique home. This will guide you in selecting the most suitable methods for your home, achieving maximum efficiency while refreshing the look of your house, making this summer both cool and beautiful.

01 Active Airflow™ System

Comfortable living leads to the creation of the Active Airflow™ System under the concept of Cool Comfort Technology, enhancing the quality of air in the home and accelerating the expulsion of hot air outside. The heat transfer mechanism has been developed in conjunction with smart innovations for a convenient user experience.

The heat transfer mechanism outside the house and roof space operates 7-10 times per hour to keep the indoor air comfortable at all times. This also enhances the efficiency of air conditioning units and saves electricity in the long run. The Active Airflow™ System offers three packages to choose from based on usage control: Timer, Smart Display, and Premium, which can be monitored and controlled via a Smart Mobile Application.

02 Thermal Insulation

Thermal insulation is another essential tool for homes in Thailand that has been used for a long time. It is recommended to install thermal insulation under the roof and on the south and west walls, which receive sunlight all day, every day.

When choosing thermal insulation, it should be suitable for the installation area. For example, SCG's Cool Wall insulation is designed specifically for wall heat resistance, or STAY COOL insulation, which is ideal for installation under ceilings. It is essential to study the details of each product before installation.

The SCG Ultra Cool reflective heat panels are another innovation that can reflect up to 95% of radiation while enhancing efficiency with Green-3 insulation, slowing down heat transfer into the home. With both reflective and heat-protective capabilities, these products make the home cooler and more comfortable.

03 Trellises

Installing trellises serves to filter some sunlight and heat before it reaches the home while also adding architectural design elements to enhance the home's beauty. You could say that installing trellises is like giving your home a new look.

SCG offers a variety of trellis designs, colors, and materials. It is advisable to base your choice on the style and design of your home, then select the type of trellis, whether it be an awning, a wall-mounted trellis, a full-panel trellis, or a decorative fretwork wall, all of which are interesting options to enhance the architectural beauty of your home.

With the strength and durability of the materials, easy installation, and a wide range of options from fiber cement, plastic wood, or aluminum composite, you can choose from over 60 different patterns to suit your preferences. The distinct clarity of the cut patterns conveys the character of the home, changing with the light throughout the day, making the trellis both beautiful and premium, matching both functional and design needs.

04 Awnings

In addition to filtering sunlight and heat, awnings also increase usable outdoor space, enhancing the lifestyle that harmonizes with the environment. They invite you to enjoy the fresh air easily in the recreational area right in front of your home.

SCG's awnings come in various materials and designs. It is recommended to first choose based on the type of light filtering that suits your needs, such as the percentage of transparency or if you need complete shade. Then consider your budget to make it easier to select materials for the awning, such as SCG's Heat Shield awning panels, which are translucent and help cut heat, or Shinkolite awning panels, available in various colors and transparencies, combining beauty with a neat and tidy home.

05 Window Films

Window films are particularly suitable for the sunlight in Thailand, as they not only filter light and radiation but also significantly reduce heat entering the home.

When considering window films, it is essential to choose based on the desired specifications, such as the percentage of heat reduction from sunlight, light transmission percentage, or if you want to reduce heat first, you can select a model certified with energy-saving film standard number 5. Additionally, it is crucial to check the reflection and intensity values with the management for condominiums or homes with neighboring properties.

All these cooling solutions can be selected and consulted with home experts to find the best methods for your home. Everyone is welcome at SCG HOME Experience at Crystal Design Center, Ekkamai-Ramintra Expressway, open daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, or inquire at 0-2101-9922.
