During the hot and sweaty summer months window film can not only increase the appeal of your home from the exterior, but it increases the comfort level of the interior. By cutting the glare and reflecting heat from the windows, window tinting and film reduces the amount of heat absorbed by your windows, thus creating a cooler atmosphere inside. Not only is window film great for keeping you comfortable, but it will also help to lower your utility bill because a cooler house means less use of the air conditioner. The less you use your appliances to keep you cool, the more money will be saved in the end!

These are great ideas. Summer heat can be unbearable that’s why it is best to find ways how to keep the house cool and window treatments is one of the ways. The most important thing here is the idea of blocking the sun. Window treatments are not only for added decorative purposes but for keeping the sun from entering the house.
Brett says
We do black out curtains- or in a pinch- hang beach towels over the curtains to block sun!
