Most heat gets in through windows facing the sun. I cover the worst with aluminium foil (tin foil).
Also bans all the evil rays! Pew pew pew…
damn that's pretty genius, although, doesn't the tin foil or the pocket between the window heat up?
Works best on the outside, but also on the inside it’s a very effective cheap solution.
Would recommend to fix with painters tape.
Yes. Foam or bubble wrap underneath the foil is best for performance over time, even just cardboard can be a meaningful improvement.
