we have a large west facing window and live on the south. Only from this window does it get very hot. We thought of curtains and blinds but they were expensive. Then we found this article. It changed the rules of the game. It was a little tricky to install, but it helps if two people assemble it. One holds it still and prevents it from rolling away while the other cuts and makes sure it fits. Once installed it blocked a lot of heat and the protective film was good at keeping neighbors from peeking in.
