We bit the (expensive) bullet and bought solar shade cloth for our west facing windows, the biggest in the house. I sewed a hem across the top and bottom and added grommet holes and hung it outside on the windows. The living room is nice and cool even on scorching hot days. The nice thing about this cloth is that light comes in and the stuff will last for years because it is weather proof. When autumn comes we roll it up and store it away till next summer.<br />Note be sure to buy marine grade grommets so they will not rust.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804522074384492754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320900371366538187.post-89581334480482548972010-08-14T12:37:55.829-07:002010-08-14T12:37:55.829-07:00I have been gluesticking tin foil to windows where...I have been gluesticking tin foil to windows where the sun blares in and reflect it back. You know what? Although it's darker in those areas, it's much cooler without much effort. Also, in fall when I welcome the sunshine, I peel, and wash windows and it's back to lightness once again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320900371366538187.post-45983915959564608162010-07-06T13:57:44.793-07:002010-07-06T13:57:44.793-07:00What a great idea.
