/also be just one side of the window- other half will be left as normal.

Fair enough. Still a tiny bit scummy if you can see it from the street for upper class people like me.

The window mirror film from Bunnings for $99 looks just about the same tbh..

 

[Shell]

Ffs, wont do it now.

What about frosted. Is that socially acceptable

Altho am worried that'll still let thru too much light.

Nah just buy a meter of the darkest flyscreen they got or dark shade cloth and put that up

Hey just saying. If I happened to have ever been on drugs and couldn't score and drove past a house with tinfoil on the windows I'd go Hmmmm let's just sit outside this house for 10 mins and see who comes out and ask them if they can get on.

Need a pair of shoes thrown over the power lines outside to be sure.

I'd just re-do the whole apartment with (block out) blinds but it'd cost a fortune.

Yeah make sure you do that Shell. And spray a tag on the tinfoil too.

Yeah nice. Or even the 90%. I would find that classy enough for my standards.

But isnt that stuff for the exterior? I need something that'll be on the interior side.

 

[Shell]

I mean I am on the top floor here...

Yeah im sure it would be fine on the interior.

 

[Spazz Cat]

I dunno, maybe have a look. If you can't find anything cheap that works for you chuck up the tinfoil I guess.

 

[Shell]

Last q- how would I attach it to the window?? Is just flat plane of glass (90cm x 120cm), with timber frame

Nah you're right its a shit look.

That cloth thing just looks similar to fly screen.

Double sided tape? Blue tack? Probs double sided tape.

I know, I'll get it cut at Bunnings a little bigger than the window size- and attach it to the top/sides and bottom of the frame- so can use blu tac + tape if need be, and it wont be visible from the outside.

Yeah. Or could use drawing pins to put in the frame.
And if that looks shit then you can still cut down to the size of the paine.

And if that looks sh*t then you can still cut down to the size of the paine.

Was just gonna say that- or even hammer in some really tiny nails?

Mine faces south under a backyard patio so almost have the opposite problem, only finally putting up curtains this week. Blinds would be better but I don't like the look of them and way more expensive.

 

[Shell]

As long as it doesnt do any damage- cause this thing is permanent in my eyes, wont be coming down ever.
