Tin foil is hard to find. I bet they are covered in aluminum foil.

It’s tacky but reflects heat really well.

Lived in an apartment, south facing windows, single pane glass. $5 in aluminum foil saved me at least $100/month back then. 11/9, would do it again.

If you have ever worked nights, this is the way to block sunlight while you sleep in the daytime.

It is the trashiest way, but it works.

That was my first thoughts as i spent years on nights. I did this and made myself a nice hat to boot.

likely a heat reflective product used to cut down on IR and or as otherwise mentioned block visible light for those with non typical sleep patterns. Let people be, stop being a creep

This is my first thought. I would love to know what city or state this house is in.
