Heat and cold

[jpbuch9309]

This is nothing earth shattering but it is easy the wife and I hang expandable shower curtain rods up and put heavy curtain in the slides to keep the heat out and boy what a difference it make so i am sure it is going to make a difference in the winter too. ( TX )

Maybe OP means the rod is placed in the windows. I've done that.

I have day/night shades with valance on top on all my windows.

I took an expandable shower rod and put it "under" the top valance so you don't see it and I too bought room darkening drapes to hang on it.

1. At night no one can see in. They can with day/night shades. Yup I was surprised about that also.

2. It does keep the heat out from the hot sun in summer.

3. Keeps the cold out in winter time.

4. Makes a big difference on how efficient your ac and/or furnace will work.

4. you just push the drapes to the sides when not in use.

Don't understand why you would have to do this. Don't you heat and cool your slide area the same as the other areas since it is living space? Winter could be a problem if you aren't heating it -- condensation and mildew/mold.

You mean covering the entrance to the slide? If not, where in the slide do you put them?
