No, this is not a request for software!

My two kids bedrooms are in the roof of the house and have velux
windows, but because all the sun in the morning falls on the front of
the house, my daughter's room becomes like a sauna any time we have
sunny weather.

I have seen that people make solar reflective film to go on the insides
of window to cut down on this problem.

What does the team think of this idea?
Is it effective/too expensive/difficult to get hold of?

Any advice gratefully received..

Easy to get hold of, easy to apply fairly well, not so easy to get
perfect, and moderately effective.

Try your local chandlers or a decent glazier.

One customer has a glass corridor linking two buildings, it used to
roast in summer, last year they fitted the film and nobody thought it
would make much difference, but in reality it does make it far less
unpleasant in there ...

After a few weeks they had to fit some "bird stickers" to it, to prevent
owls from flying into it at night leaving impressive "owl with
outstretched wings silhouette"

We presently live in the middle east and have it on all windows of the
house and one of the cars. It makes a huge difference. 3M is a reputable
manufacturer.
