installing awnings?
installing awnings?
hi all. i live in western Colorado, in the desert part rather than the mountain part, and it's HOT. and sunny. my house has a long west-facing wall full of large windows, and we've been keeping the blinds shut all day but it's not helping. i'm thinking of installing awnings.
my questions are, a) have you done this or something similar, and if so what did you do, b) are there awnings available that are NOT just plastic? and c) any other hints, tips, or ideas would be welcome.

We put blackout cell shades in our east facing mud room and they made a big difference. You want something with a reflective component, not just like curtains.
I think the best would be something external, like shutters.
oh dang, shutters! i forgot they're not just decorative.
