Sun Screens on my mind today. It was in the 80s here (hottest day of the year)
and we turned on the AC after it had already gotten up to 88 indoors..
After a while, I went scanning around and found the west-side den windows
were a big heat source. The curtains were 90 to 101deg F!
I'm trying to chose some DIY kits for those two west side sliding windows (48"x48").

Suntex 90% or, Super Solar 90%? I wonder if there is any difference in these two kits?

Just spend some more time on that site and the Phifer Suntex seems to be
the right stuff. It's thicker and pet resistant.
But, it seems they are recommending 80% blockage, and 90% if you live out in the desert..
Black seems to be the best color choice too.. Better visibility when looking outdoors.
"The chart here shows a window with Brown SunTex installed.
In midsummer as much as 230 BTUs can fall on each unprotected square foot of glass."
