Web Watch: Fabulous foxgloves

1. Solar Gard: Does one half of your sofa look pink and the other half a rosy red?

We’re all trying to get the light into our rooms but crikey, it can be murder on the furnishings. I came across this website and although I can’t say I’ve tried it, it makes sense. Based in Wilton in Cork, they specialise in fancy-schmancy window film. There’s a boggling array like solar, privacy, anti-fade and safety and security. The benefits range from blocking harmful UV rays — which will be handy if the sun ever comes out — to two-way privacy if you don’t like nosy parkers peering into your front room.
