Has anyone had to find a way to put UV/shading material on the wonderfully
textured glass blocks windows?  Any suggestions on what materials to use
that would adhere?  We have curtains up on the 30foot windows, but the
curtains are almost 60 years old (and block the pretty windows).  We fear
the curtains will come down without our help soon (160 yards of fabric are
shattering).

The problem we have is the windows catch the afternoon sun (yes, they face
directly west in Texas--who thought that was a good idea?  An architect
from France.) so the light levels are intense without help.  The heat
generated was made worse by the building not being airconditioned (finally
conditioned in 1959).  The original director suggested bakelite blinds.
Everyone ignored him.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
