Rear bay window -- Coolaroo sun screen

I bought a roll of sun screen "Coolaroo" from home depot. I put it on outside of the rear bay window for temporary. It says will cut 70% sun. But my wife said she didnt think it helps. Any advise would be greatly appreciate it. Any problem with Coolaroo sun screen?
  • Obtain a IR temp gun, shoot window without screen, install screen, shoot window with screen, report back.

  • We used a roll up sun shade we got from Camping World....worked great and cut heat dramatically.
  • Get something to measure the temperature inside the window is the way to confirm what it is doing for you.

    I came from the solar screen business and think you'll find they work.
  • I had a window that caught afternoon sun. I put LowE film on it and it worked great. But I put it on the inside. You might try your Coolaroo on the inside and see if that makes a difference.
