only prolong the time for heat to come in, still hot. Maybe from 1 hour to 1.5 hours to heat the room. The heat is trap, it need some place to go out.

Also use a good quality tint, don't use the cheap tint, it don't have UV cut. Tint like 3M, V-cool can reduce the UV and Infra Red heat to the room.

My kids room also facing a sun. At night, even turning on the fan at fast speed, it just spin the hot air around the room.

What I did was to install roof turbine. I reallyyyy helps a lot. It removes the heat from the room. So, by the time I got home after work, it no longer hot in the room. So, when turning on the fan, i can feel the different.. BUT, don't expect it to cool down coz roof turbine is for removing heat.. You still need fan or aircond..

Currently, the price is rm600-rm700 each, inclusive installation (i'm sure the price is around this, nationwide, inclusive installation)

My parent house is sitting on West, we did not put this but instead put ceiling ventilation (KDK and Panasonic). It really help in the evening cause when you switch on the ventilation, it suck the fresh air from the windows, push out the hot are out from the roof.

I did that in my new house too, and added Zinc sheet on the roof. Now I don't feel hot on the first floor. Thanks to the zinc sheets.
