Reply to "How prevent paint fading from train room southern window?"

Choo Choo CharlieOGR Forum Member

I have two windows facing south and two facing west in my train room. I installed 1/2 wide slat aluminum venation blinds and tilt them to keep the sun rays out but leave non sun light in. The two windows to the north and one to the east do not let sun in the room and do not have blinds. I have seen no indication of fading of the 40 year old layout in 11 years in this room.

The blinds can be pulled completely up to allow maximum light in if needed for daylight pictures, videos or just because I want to.

It would be an easier and quick job to install one blind in your case. A couple of screws. Putting on film has always be a challenge to me to keep from getting bubbles or folds for me. Most films also have a tint that reduces vision out but would be better than the blinds tilted to stop the sun.
