You’ve worked long and hard all year! You’ve managed to find a holiday company that hasn’t gone broke and an airline to take you abroad that isn’t on strike! What could possibly go wrong? To start with the air conditioning could leave much to be desired in a hot country and secondly the noise of traffic keeping you awake at night. It you’d checked that the hotel had proper double glazing; all your problems would be solved.
Disco’s or their equivalent abound abroad and why not? If it’s YOU enjoying the dancing and music, why worry? However, the simple installation of double glazing in accommodation abroad could save your from head-banging, throbbing “music” at 2 or 4 in the morning! Believe me, shutters, single-glazed windows and curtains do NOT drown out the offending sounds.
Loads of hotels in Europe and around the world don’t have air-conditioning or double glazing. There are ways to make sure your hotel room abroad keeps its cool. Book one on the ground floor, because heat rises. Buy a small electric fan for use during your stay and unplug any appliances. Lots of European buildings have thicker walls that and double glazing, which ensure your room is cooler by day. The cool air is kept inside the room away from the hot air outside.
If you’ve had a terrible year and really need a rest, you might draw down the dark blinds, close the windows, turn up the air con and never leave your room for the whole fortnight. Or you could let double glazing help your room keep its cool, so you’ll keep yours … !
