Our great room has vaulted ceiling and large picture window. We have a glare problem. I currently have mini blinds with semi-sheers but feel I really need more blockage of the glare from West sun. The windows(3 together) measure 90 inches across and I have traditional but comfy furnishings. Can you help with the problem?

This type of product is applied to glass with water. It's comes in sheets and several shades of dark. It is a perfect Do-It-Yourself weekend project and will resolve the problem your describing.
