zirhk3355 1 Report post Posted May 14, 2009 Since I see you talking about day curtains, I guess you still want light, right? But sadly its true, day curtains will only take away the glare, but the heat can still come in. The only way is to use blackout curtains; ie you close it, totally no light at all.
