Greetings all!
My wife have some huge single-pane south-facing (and in southern California, USA, Northern hemisphere, that means "towards the sun") windows that will most definitely get replaced when we replace all the energy innefficient windows in our house in a couple years. We are stalling on that project because it will be very pricey, I am sure.
We do have curtains to prevent the light from fading furniture, but I'd also like to coat these windows with something to help block out the UVA/UVB rays (not sure of the difference) when the curtains are open. I know there is film material you can cut and apply, but I feel our circumstances (huge oddly shaped windows) might make that a difficult project to accomplish satisfactorily. I was wondering if there were any "paint on" type of liquid which dries sort of clear and smooth and yet provides a coating which blocks some rays. I would prefer to do this myself rather than have a professional do it. This windows will probably be ripped out in the not terribly distant future, so I don't want to spend tons of cash on them.
As always, I am certain that I am imagining the existence of a miracle product that does not exist, but if it does exist, please let me know!
Chuck
