Subject: T&T: Solid vs See-thru & Eyebrow window covers
> An alternative to either solid or see thru covers which fasten directly to
> windows all around the window perimeter are "eyebrow covers". In these,
> the
> shade material is fastened to the window frame or just above only at the
> top...like an angled sunshade. The bottom edge typically extends out to a
> lower height.
>
> On my salon side windows, for example, the tops are button fastened just
> above my window tops, the lower edge buttons to my handrails. I have
> normal
> visibility except cannot see much nearby sky...Mine are about 12 feet long
> and 16
> inches wide....So I have shade most of the day,except when the sun is low
> in the
> sky, but full visibility and ventilation...They also block more heat
> intrusion than fully fastened covers since they are away from the window
> surface....They will also keep out light rain in hot weather when

> If they are fastened via a slotted connection instead of buttons at the

> they will keep out fairly heavy rains while permitting ventilation...
