Looks like we've a brewing problem in my new house as the weather warms up. I have a south facing nursery room for my little girl, and it's consistently about 4 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. There's quite a sizeable window in this room that lets in tons of light. Averaging about 24 degrees right now and will only get hotter. Plus I can see that in only 5 months some UV damage on the carpet.

Question: have any of you lot had a similar issue and do any of the multitude of home window tinting options actually work effectively? I've orders some film anyway just now to see what it's like, but I'm interested to see if I'm the only one.
