General Science / Can I insulate window glass with aluminium foil to keep the room cool?
« on: 10/07/2016 11:42:55 »
Our upstairs room is directly under the inclined roof in which an inclined window has been built. Although there is a sunlight blind attached to the window (roll up - roll down), it is dark-coloured, and gets very hot during the day. The room is now nearly 30°C!!! I get the impression that most of the heat comes through the window and heats up the blind, which radiates into the room.
If I fit a 'panel' of aluminium foil between the blind and the window (inside), will this allow the room to cool down?
