    The old-fashioned way is to draw the curtains before the sun gets there.

    No use in a room like this which will still heat up with drawn curtains

    Hello Guys,

    The room has a full room length floor to ceiling double glazed window facing west.

    Wow, that window size must be awesome! I assume it has been there quite a few years because such a window installed today would require specially treated heat-reflecting glass and probably a brise-soleil (sunshade) as well.

    I agree that neither fans nor closing curtains will help. What will be effective however is solar reflective film. See this website url]http://www.thegreenage.co.uk/using-solar-film-prevent-solar-gain/[/url]
    Your landlord can have film installed or you can even do it yourself, it is quite an easy diy job.
