What is the best choice to keep the heat out, sun screens or wood shutters for the windows, sun hits directly
Windows have no cover from trees, windows face west, after 4pm a/c can not keep up with the heat from the sun
I had a similar situation and I bought cellular shades…the honeycomb style. It acts as an insulator keeping heat out in summer and cold out in winter. You can get different degrees of opacity to block out some or all of the sun. They come in many colors. Just another option for you and lots cheaper than wood shutters!
The sun screens would work, and you’d still be able to see out the windows.. My solution was to hang lined drapes, and I keep them closed in the afternoon.

Hi, Solar shades, cellular shades, and wood shutters would all work well at blocking the sun and insulating from the heat. Your choice will depend on the look that you want and your budget. I personally would prefer a shade as i have a lot of dust in my area so i would not want the horizontal surfaces of the shutter. Hope this helps.
