Agree, I think you can get some special glass / coatings that reflect the heat a bit but better not to have the sun hit the glass in the first place.Yea - insulation stops the transfer of heat, so it works both ways. But then we have big windows with solar glass that let in/amplify the heat as much as possiblehence the need for external shutters. Honestly, stopping of direct sunlight before it hits the windows would stop so much heat getting into more modern/well insulated houses.
It's too hot :(

Loft insulation and full boarding was £3k and the external wall insulation was £2k but that was done as part of a re-render of the house which was £5k on top. We have solid walls so you wouldn’t need it if you have cavity walls.
A little reflective tint to the patio windows can help. We have that on ours as well.

Went to Currys, Homebase and Wickes just so I can check out the Meaco fans they've got on their website. The selection at every store was abysmal, with 1-2 generic makes and thats it. Came home and ordered a Meaco 1056 from JL for £109 due on Tuesday.

That’s a really good fan. It’s a little large compared to others but it really shifts air and is very quiet.
If you could I'd be interested to know what you make of it when you get it. I'm considering the same model, but it's expensive and I'm a bit sceptical that it's worth it.

I won't post the picture with kids for obvious reasons.
