Is it illegal to cover my window?

Posted at: 2014-09-26 
The people who build your homes are supposed to provide ways for the dwellers in the rooms to receive sunlight and have access to fresh air. Otherwise, legally, they will not be able to call the room a "bedroom."

But now, if the dweller does not want sunlight and access to fresh air that has been made available to him/her, that's free will.

Keep in mind though, that if you are unable to escape through your blocked window in the event of a fire, you can only blame yourself and your free will. In other words, you can't sue your builder for "flawed" design.

They make reflective window film for this purpose. Tin foil will simple heat up. And.. NO it is not illegal.

i think she's concerned about the home owners association. using tin foil is against the rules in my neighborhood.

try blackout curtains.

The easiest way to cover it would be to install a venetian blind. Raise it when you want more light. Close it when you want less.

Definitely NOT illegal under any circumstance !!

Yes it is illegal. I'm hoping you dont leave your door closed too? Do you? Oh no.

Get a shade or curtains.

If nobody complains, it won't be.

Not that I no of

I usually on my TV or Computer when I'm in my room, and the sunlight is always coming in and reflecting my room, also it's hot, so I was wondering if it would be illegal to cover my window with Aluminum Foil. Also it's on the top floor if that makes a difference.
