Chick Blind
The chick blind everyone here grew up with, made to a proper width and hemmed rather than cut and left. Fine split bamboo, closely strung, hung outside the opening to take the sun before it reaches the glass.
Blocking heat outside the window is the whole trick: a blind hung inside stops the light but the heat is already in the room. This is the reason a verandah chick works better than any interior blind on a west wall.
Sunscreen: Cuts glare and heat but keeps the view out. You can still see through it in daylight.

Care and cleaning
Brush the dust off with a soft broom rather than washing it. Tie the bottom so wind cannot beat it against a railing, and roll it up before a storm.
