What is the best way to cover up a recessed window?

Question

I have a small air conditioning unit, I would like to ease its strain by adding a film to a big 5 by 6 foot recessed window which takes up at least two-thirds of my eastern wall. Can anyone recommend a good product?

Answer 1

We have the same problem in our apt in New Orleans, wooden shutters would be better than film.  The film we used started de-grading and now is almost impossible to remove and it looks terrible.  There are fake shutters that may not cost as much, but I think you would regret using film in the long run.
