Now, I can watch my Netflix during the afternoon!


without flash,

with flash.

It's about 0.03" thick, as you can see, it's got about 16 holes per inch.
It does look a little reflective from either side.

I measured a deck rail that was angled towards the sun and it showed
about 150F, other areas of the deck, with off-angle surfaces were in the 130-140 range.

Measuring the screens from a side angle (so as not to measure reflection from the inside glass),
I got an average of 140 deg F.

Since the AC has been off most of the day, and we had the 400w Plasma
running, the den was quite warm, in the mid 80s.
The room is cooling off now, and the curtains are only about 6 degs above
the room temperature.
My wife was measuring both windows, (while I was building #2),
and found the Solar Screened curtains were typically 15 degrees cooler.

I found that using a special gripper glove (to hold the roller tool)
and roofer's knee-pads really sped up the second window. (30 minutes)! :

Cheers,
Rich
