Will this also keep the heat out in the summer?

I can't really answer because the windows that I used it on are in my downstairs which is always cold. That's why I bought it. To keep the heat in. But so far when it's been in the 90's and it has been nice and cool. The true test will be in July.

this will depend on what is going on inside your room. If you are running AC, it will definitely help keep the hotter outside air from leaking into your room. If no AC, the inside temp will eventually equilibrate with the outside temp. If the sun is shining into your room on top of no AC, the inside temp will go even higher than outside temp - think green house, or what happens to the inside of your car after you leave it in the sun with windows up. Hope this helps.

Hello Jane. I put them up in the winter and they cut my heating costs. They will not keep out the heat during the summer months. However, they will keep your AC from leaking out and should help with AC costs.

It is not needed in nice weather, however it is a must in the rain if you want to open the windows for ventilation. It also keeps the direct sun off the top of the tent on hot days and the tight fit helps hold the tent and frame if you don't stake the tent down, as well as protecting the top of the tent.

Not really. We live up north and over the summer my daughter would get very hot and sweaty. It's great from the sun but keeps it warm under it

Absolutely. Mine is on the patio and has helped reduce not only the temp in the house but has helped lower the electric bill a little. It's a great shade and I really recommend it.

My first response would be yes but always be sure that it doesn't get too warm. The heat may even irritate the area.

I think it did. If we had put sides up on the canopy, it definitely would have helped the heat vent through the top. The vent also allowed the wind to blow through the roof without uprooting the poles, and without letting the rain in. I think it is a plus in the design.

Yes. We are amazed how much it keeps the heat out. Don't get me wrong, in Texas hot summers it still can get hot in the garage.(in 100 degrees). But it definitely works.

Yes we saw a reduction in the heat during the summer. Our garage door had direct sun so it created a lot of heat. This helped a great deal.

I think you would need some sort of venting to occur in order to prevent expansion from the heat. It works very well the way it is designed.

Yes it does keep the sun out. That is what it is designed to do. I have never put up 4 of them as I only ever use 2. If you were to use 4 and close all sides it would be somewhat dark inside.

It should work for that just fine as long as you wear something over it like a t-shirt, otherwise it will keep you cool wherever it's exposed to air

The cover doesn't have any reflective qualities that I can see, therefore I would say it would not keep the heat out. It is great for winter weather though. I've given these covers as gifts and have always received rave compliments on its effectiveness.

Maybe a little, but if you leave it in the sun the water will definitely get warm. It's thin and meant to be very lightweight, so I wouldn't say insulation is it's primary purpose.

I think it would offer even better protection against the elements. As long as the cover does not seal the air condition unit and trap moisture, tshould be okay.

i think it can withstand the heat but not sure about the elements out side.

it will definately take the chill out of the air, but since it is uninsalated and has 17 windows that probablly leak air, you will probably need two. If the room was insulated it would keep it warm

yes, it can keep rain out. keep in mind that there are fasteners that have to go through the strip making a hole and that the surface the strip is touching must make a good seal.
