Light blocking decals for my window

[Niku]

Does any one make some thing like window tint on vinyl that blocks near 100% of light? Black out curtains are too bulky in my tiny computer room.

Cardboard / Aluminum Foil works great if you don't care what it looks like 😛

They make roll up blinds that block light and can be mounted on the inside of the window frame.

Something like these

How can that be too 'bulky?'

Blackout curtains are very thick and they billow away from the wall.

The foil idea is good, but i will probably back it in crate paper so its less conspicuous. Thanks for the idea.

Mine billow a little, but it's really just the single layer of blackout cloth in the curtains that is doing the work.

My screen is made of blackout cloth too... and that's certainly flat.
If you just got a roll of blackout cloth from a fabric store, you could make your own curtains that are as flat as you want them to be.

AL foil works great .. then I put curtains over the AL foil to make it look decent from the inside .. plus your neighbors will think you're running a meth lab 🙂
