or some heavy curtains.

Try your drug store - the guy that makes up prescription drugs should have some - they do here in OZ. Subtractor - you need silica beads when you are building studio windows. You put them in the cavity between the glass cos they soak up the humidity and stop the windows from fogging up. cheers...
