Shutters
Now we are not talking about the shutters with which people in the past closed their windows while living in squat huts. There are two types of modern shutters: external and internal. Of course, the second option is more attractive to many people, especially if you live in a high-rise building.
To put such shutters, you need a place near the windows, otherwise this method is not for you.
Jalousie
A great alternative to shutters is the blinds. You can use various types: plastic, wooden, fabric or bamboo. Nowadays, there are a large number of choice of blinds, ranging from universal colors, to bright and with the addition of a picture.
Portieres
Heavy curtains curtains perfectly protect your apartment from the sun. There is no reason for the sun's rays to break through their thick tissue. The advantages of curtain drapes are that they look luxurious and fit into any interior.
Tulle
If you do not want to completely hide from the sun, then it is worth using tulle instead of curtains. Thanks to its light, light tissue, sunlight passes through it beautifully, but will not be so bright. It seems to dissipate and linger in the tulle itself.
Cassette curtains
Such curtains are very convenient in that you can spread them only when the sun shines especially brightly out the window. Another convenient life hack is that such curtains can be lowered to any length that is convenient for you.
The sun hits my eyes in the morning, but you don’t want the dusk in the apartment? So it’s worth lowering the curtains only to half the window, which will protect you from direct sunlight.
Electrochromic glass
A new generation of smart glass is able to determine the degree of brightness of the sun themselves. When the sun is especially active - the glass reflects its rays, when not very bright - the glass is transparent, but in the evening the glass becomes impenetrable to the eyes of others.
Marquises
If you have a place outside the apartment or house, then it's time to install the awnings from the sun. A marquise is such a structure made of canvas. It is removable and stationary. Easy to attach and protects from sunlight.
Tinted
On sale you can find a thermal protective film that has its own color. Usually this color is transparent, but darker. It is glued directly to the glass, and it reflects the sun's rays.
The most interesting thing is that such a film from the outside is completely mirrored. And no one can spy on what is happening inside your house.
