MadMac Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 BigC has these rolls, they say it's aluminum. Makro may have even bigger ones. You are looking to protect someone from aliens? Tin is expensive nowadays.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use them on the curtains/drapes on my south facing balcony doors. They totally block sunlight and reflect the heat. Whenever I've had new curtains/drapes made I've asked for them and even the smallest shop had them available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FolkGuitar Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 We've used the 'Emergency Space Blankets' with good results. Less than 100 baht, last 3-4 years, and seem to work as well as the big heavy black drapes for blocking heat, yet still allow quite a bit of light into the room.

terminatorchiangmai Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 you can buy window foil at home pro , this will also keep the sun out. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredge45 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 OP doesn't say where he wants to use the reflective foil. To block sunlight from a window, reflect heat from under the roofing material? It would be nice to know what he's really looking for, then advice can be given correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) There's an inexpensive backing material that you can buy for curtains from most curtain shops that controls/reflects heat and light. Alternatively, Home Pro and similar shops sell rolls of reflective foil, designed for use in roof spaces as a radiant barrier. A better option still might be wooden slatted roller blinds which will prevent heat transfer, attractive and not expensive, also available from Home Pro. EDIT to add that his best solution is solar film applied to the inside of the window, highly effective and inexpensive, available at any car window tint shop.

toybits Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I heard that if you cover your head with that foil, you would be able to protect your privacy from Internet hackers and identity thieves. Let me know if you find some. I might need some myself especially if this Single Gateway thing is going to really happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
