'Solar film'

Hi

Is there an adhesive film that I can stick to my patio windows to prevent the sun from bleaching the carpet and wallpaper?

I have vertical blinds but would consider buying the film if it is easy to apply and not too expensive.

Thank you.

    Do a google on Solar window film and it will come up with a load of companies that do it.

    I used this solar film on a shop window. It was brilliant. You can use tinted film if you want but I used a totally clear film called 'museum' grade. Guess what that's used for.

    I had it fittted in my all window no walls flat.

    Its not cheap but then again I did get a company to install it due to the size of the windows. I used a firm called Durable. I can recommend them.

    Its made a hell of a difference and was money well spent.
    I love this site :beer:
