Like a couple of other reviewers my primary reason for this purchase was to help insulate a couple of windows in my apartment that have direct sunlight on them during the hottest part of the day. What I have done is I cut a piece of thick cardboard to the size of each of the windows. Then I took the mylar blankets and wrapped the cardboard with them and used duct tape to hold them in place.
Now, as another reviewer noted, not the prettiest of window coverings. So I then took a thin white table cloth, and wrapped one around each window cover. With the addition of the tablecloth, it added enough thickness that the window coverings fit pretty snugly, without needing anything else to hold them in place. The tablecloth also protects the mylar sheets from damage from being remove and put back in place as needed.
I live in the Central San Joaquin valley, and summer temperatures stay over 100 for quite a while. Little things like this can help keep my a/c from working quite as hard, and help keep the electric bill a bit under control.
