Recently, I wanted to grow indoor plants(wanted sunlight) but didn't want people seeing into my apartment windows(live in a higher crime area). I used this grooved(tented) plastic liner with adhesive made for cabinets on my windows. Later, I found out the company that made this already thought of this. My problem is that one sheet didn't give my window the level of opaque I was looking for, so I had to use four sheets. I had to layer it in different directions(upside down) and made sure the design didn't overlap. The temper difference is amazing. I have a 20* difference between the coated window surface and uncoated surface. That is in 40*, I'm sure that will go up in January. I think this is due to the groves trapping air and working as an insulator.

I didn't know if many people already did this, I though I would just throw it in this section for people who want solar heating(windows) with better heat bills this winter.

Frosted shower curtains can be cut to use with or in place of sheers. (It looks tacky without a sheer.) A $5 shower curtain is huge and can cover a lot.
