Aluminum Foil Boatdiagram Does Aluminum Foil On The Window Really Work For Keeping The Heat Out Of A Room?

Does aluminum foil on the window really work for keeping the heat out of a room? - aluminum foil boatdiagram

I have heard and seen, as people said, put aluminum foil on Windows, but no one, if it holds heat very well himself. Is that and describe how layers should I do?

Not sure about the heat .. But in any case, keep foreigners out (from outer space .. no illegal immigrants from Mexico)

Yes, there should be a coat do the trick.

Before you do not attempt the record, why, shades or heavy drapes covered, and keep it closed? You see much better in a window ..... that the price is a true on the role of the other expensive, but you want more time with the curtain to see more ... and you'll find many of the curtains at discounters

Yes, does the film as repellent against heat waves. Everything is made of metal must act the same manner. One coat should suffice. It may sound corny, but it works!

It works.
Put out the window and, if possible, about 2 cm from the window
When the contacts so that the window does not work so well, but it will help.
Ah yes, a window, which must be the sun on them, does not work if the window is not the sun.

It works. And if you dive in and get the heavy Reynolds Wrap, are sure to have only 1 layer. RIP and tear in general, or cause too much trouble to install on your Windows.

Do not you think that only warm but also light note. The room is darkened. So you can think about the possible creation of a framework for its role in the wall of heat that can be removed without too much effort. (do not know exactly how it is done, it occurred to me?.) Good luck

This can help, yes. Mainly reflects the sun instead of going outside her home.

It seems a little strange, though. A layer must be more than sufficient.

You can use a radiant barrier, which mainly aluminum foil with a paper. I know it is used in roofs, I'm not so sure of the efficiency in the windows.

I have the heavy foil in the window while I was in the room. I do not use it too warm in my room. I used to have a little more privacy, since many students continue to look at my window.

It's better in the darkness of space, we have this in Anchorage in the summer.

If that so much heat. But before you go to take into account the window of his role, the expected damage to your window.

Most of the windows in the last 30 years have been made of insulating glass. There are two panes of glass with a little space between them. The space between the two crystals that are sealed with a butyl sealant. If this fails, you can moisture seal between the panes and the window will fog.

Since moisture is between the two panes of glass can not be cleaned. Your only option is to replace the glass.

The paper carries a lot of heat between the two panes of glass that may cause the sealant to fail. If you have plastic windows, vinyl can warp even ruin the whole window.

A better solution would be a window film that blocks UV buying power. It is almost as effective as paper, but safe for the window.

I think, work and blind, or perhaps absorbed by a leaf color (dark) to light and heat. It seems a bit silly, but it is not?
