A friends flat is overlooked by other flats and they want to put up some

Could greaseproof cooking paper be used instead of japanese paper (since its
probably a lot cheaper)


you can use anything you choose. Why not spend the 80p and see if you
like it.


*and if so what would be a way to stick it to the
glass so that it could be easily removed?

Would anyone know where in London the reflective film can be bought?
Thanks.


One option is emergency blankets, 2 for £1 at poundland. Its silvered
mylar, IIRC somewhere in the region of 50% reflective.

I'd rather have all the light coming in, so would prefer other options
to the ones you're discussing.
