Unfortunately because the window faces west the room can get hot in the late afternoon through the evening. Not wanting to loose the view we invested in a solar screen to try to block out some of the heat. The solar screen blocks a lot of the heat and we still can see out. The draw back is that it does not provide privacy. We mounted the shade as an inside mount and paired it with room darkening drapery. The combination gives us so much flexibility with privacy and light control. We can have a full view, partial view, and full block out. The added bonus that I did not even think about when we bought them is the savings on my electric bill. Since my A/C is not longer cranked to the max these shades will probably pay for themselves over the long haul. AWESOME!!!
