Easy Sun Screen for Sliding Glass Doors

Adhesive Glass Designs Block Sunlight and Keep House Cooler

All of us are looking for ways to cut back, save a little on the bills, and lessen the strain on our wallets. One major concern for some people is that ever-increasing electric bill! If you're hoping to pay a little less this year why not give your sliding glass doors a make-over? It'll cost you little, you'll create a new and beautiful look for the doors, and you'll block out some of that sunlight streaming in. It won't take too long to create the new look, and when you're finished, you'll definitely notice a difference!

A lot of people cover sliding glass doors with drapes or curtains but what's the point of that? Sure, you block some of the sunlight coming in but you lose the view that you would have without the curtains. If you need the curtains for privacy, that's fine, but in the daytime why not pull the curtains open and view see your yard in all its splendor? Don't worry about the sunlight pouring in and heating up the room; you'll be making a cool new design for the doors and blocking the heat as well.

Purchase adhesive tinting on a roll to make the designs. The tint is sold at automobile supply stores and home improvement stores. You won't be simply unrolling the tint and placing it on the doors; you'll be doing something a little more spectacular. Cut designs to put on the door and create your own choice of patterns. Later, if you want to remove the designs, rubbing alcohol will help you strip the adhesive.

The designs you cut can be anything from circles to flower shapes. Cut triangles, squares or other shapes to create the pattern you want. Circles and circular shapes look great when attached to the window. They leave small gaps, between the circles, which create an interesting pattern that allows a little light to come in. Align the circles - or other shapes - across the bottom and work your way up or go in the opposite direction.
