How can I cover the window to cool the room from the hot sun?
We have a window that the afternoon sun beats down on in the afternoon. Makes our room in there HOT. What is the best way to shield the window and cool down the room?

awnings put outside the windows would be most effective. But you can get window shades that block the sun. Shutters on the window would also be effective and with movable louvers they have great control. Also layering works well. I have west windows in my diningroom and we have cloth fold up shades on the windows and also floor length curtains that can pull over windows or part of windows etc.
Hi Kathy, they make window film that blocks the sun. Here is a link to check it out.
