Al Berca Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Quik Blinds for best value and choices. Not just blinds. A half dozen store fronts west of Super Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Wait a couple weeks before you do something elaborate and expensive. Once the rains start, it cools down considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 We had some film applied to reduce UV and other stuff. Mid block on the Carretera between Colon and Juarez, mountain side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maw7815 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I replaced my white drapes with the chocolate brown drapes sold at Wal-Mart. What a difference! It kept the room dark and a lot cooler. Also keep windows open at night for cool breezes and shut them when you get up. maw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudgirl Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Sunbrella makes a fabric called Sunbrella Shade- it comes in several nice colors and has a somewhat open weave that blocks the sun while still allowing air to flow through. Maybe you can find a good upholsterer who can order it (there are 2 distributors in Guad) and make you some curtains. Beware of fake "Sunbrella"- it fades out and doesn't come in that weave.

sparks Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 A real malla de sombra (shade cloth)(malla is maya) used by nurseries is very strong and could be hung from eves. Better than film on windows or anything inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
