Where can I buy Mylar?

[midnight armadillo]

I need some big sheets of Mylar. In my apartment the bedroom and kitchen are blasted by the sun from dawn to almost dusk, which heats up the whole apartment. I want to mask out half of each big window with a big ole sheet of Mylar to reflect the sun back out and cut down on the solar gain. This worked well last summer on a smaller window in the bedroom over our bed where the air conditioner goes - I added a reflective car sun shade and the room stays much cooler.

Where would I find such a thing?

Of course, proper building construction (i.e. passive solar) would shade out the summer sun, but it's too much to hope for it seems judging by current construction around and about.

1. Tinfoil!

Just as shiny, PLUS then they won't be able to monitor your thoughts.

You know who I'm talking about.

solar film.
