| 596801 | 2007-10-01 05:08:00 | Does anyone know how to make whitewash? I've got a window that's terribly hot in summer. I'd like to cut the heat but keep some of the light. Last year I used tinfoil on it, but it leaves a nasty residue on the glass and darkens the room too much. I don't like to have blinds drawn all the time. I've seen shop windows whitewashed (e.g. when undergoing renovations), but I don't actually know what whitewash is. Any ideas? |

| 596807 | 2007-10-01 07:31:00 | You can buy "Window Film" from stores like Mitre10, which is basically like a self-adhesive sheet you stick onto your window. They are available in varying degrees of frost effect and patterns. Not too sure on cost though. | somebody (208) | ||
