+1 to roller black outs. I have one on my office window (just a cheap Ikea job). That is West facing and even in the warmer spring we had a week or so ago, with it open my office was uncomfortably warm. On the next, even warmer day, I kept it closed and the room was positively chilly.

Interesting. We have a blackout blind in one of these rooms and it doesn't stop it from hitting 35 degrees on a sunny day.

This is why I was asking for personal experiences. It appears that not all blackout blinds are equal.

It could also be the type of window(s). My office only has one, but it's a tiny room and the window is 6' tall by 2.5' wide, so the glass to wall to room size ratio is relatively big but it is a new double glazed number.
