You can paint the windows from the inside with thinned down latex paint. If you use a green, blue, purple, or amber shade, it will keep out lots of heat but allow enough light for you to see your car or the house door. Just another option. 😇Helpful Reply -

Use contact paper, with like a frosted pattern on it, so no one can look in, or there are other patterns too. Have a estimated idea of how much you will need before you leave home. J.Helpful Reply -

Cheap plastic blinds from Walmart work wonders. I am surprised how inexpensive they are and when you put your hand between the blind and the window, you will quickly see how much heat they keep out. If you really want to go cheap, a piece of cardboard and tape will also readily block it out.Helpful Reply -

Home Depot sells an adhesive backed paper that can be solid, semi clear or pattern. I have a small glass window next to my front door that I put the paper that looks like window is etched.Helpful Reply -

When I bought my house, I was surprised that all of the windows were frosted. The single older lady said that she bought spray frost at Walmart and Lowe's. She had been a police officer and said that the frosting of the windows was a security item for her. I scraped the frost off in some areas, but left the majority of it. It is great at the edges of the windows where the drapes don't completely cover. I need to pick up a can to do my garage windows.Helpful Reply -
