A lace curtain may block some of the biggest insects from entering while still allowing a breeze to get through. If your concern is privacy, then curtains and blinds will provide better privacy than window screens; for UV protection, you can choose specialty windows or UV-blocking film. And if you just want an inexpensive, temporary solution, there are adhesive or magnetic screen panels you can install for an hour, a day, or a season.

Tinting your windows can provide many benefits, like added security, privacy, safety, and protection from UV rays. However, not all window tinting serves all of those purposes, so before you commit to a type, make sure you understand the benefits it offers. 

For example, security windows don't typically offer much in the way of UV protection, but they're ideal for protecting your home from intruders. Meanwhile, ceramic window tints won't prevent glass from breaking like security windows, but they provide ample protection from UV rays in addition to heat absorption capabilities. 

A common way to modernize arched windows is to install interior window treatments that allow light through the curved portion up to and let you cover the bottom portion for privacy. You can also install plantation shutters to make an arched window look more modern. From the exterior, arched windows can appear outdated if they’re coupled with ornate trim, so toning down the decor can make your window look more natural with a modern design.

Home window tinting costs around $600 on average, and most homeowners pay between $150 and $1,600 for the service, depending on a few different factors. The number of windows you want tinted and the size of those windows are the most significant cost factors, as each window and each additional square foot of tint will add to your total. The quality of the tint itself is another important cost factor to consider, as additional coatings like low-emissivity (low-E) treatment will increase the cost of the materials.
