In summer, the room will be about five degrees cooler, and in winter, the opposite effect: heat is retained better.

And we are not talking about energy-saving windows. This is a budget and simple option that has an additional function.

Window film

A cheap option in this case is self-adhesive sun protection film for windows.

The number of rolls depends on the number of windows that need to be tinted, but it is still one of the most economical ways to protect from the scorching sun in the summer and keep warm in the winter.

Necessary materials

In addition to the film, you will need a container with a spray bottle. You need to pour water into it and add ten drops of dishwashing liquid.

The soap solution is needed to glue the film.

You will also need a spatula, a utility knife and a sponge to remove bubbles.

Gluing technology

First, you should wash the window and wait until it dries completely.

A soap solution should be applied to the glass. The film is glued from top to bottom, starting from the center. A sponge should be used to remove bubbles.

In the end, all that remains is to remove the excess film along the edges. Apply the spatula to the edge and then carefully cut it off with a stationery knife.

But you need to be careful not to touch the plastic or rubber on the window.
