I just stuck some cheap film on my windows and I haven’t had any troubles all winter. My mother-in-law was taken aback when I shared my life hack with her
Now I share with you:
Instead of spending large sums of money on insulating windows, I used regular cling film.
This film creates the effect of a « third glass », i.e. an air chamber that keeps the heat inside the room. To be honest, I have already reduced my heating costs , I do not turn on the heater, since the air chamber serves as a kind of insulation for me.
In addition, another advantage of using heat-saving film is that it prevents condensation on the glass. We all know that fogged glass forms dangerous mold at the joint of the plastic. With the film, you will no longer encounter this problem.
But how to stick this film correctly?
It is important to remember that it is not glued to the glass itself, but only to the window frame. This is important to ensure reliable fixation of the film and effective operation. It will take a little time and patience to install the film, but the result is worth it.
There are several ways to attach the film, but the simplest and most effective is to use double-sided tape. Just stick the film to the window frame, smooth it out carefully and make sure it is taut and does not form folds.
Now you know about a simple and affordable way to improve the thermal insulation in your home. Cling film is not only a budget insulation option, but also an effective way to reduce heating costs and get rid of unpleasant drafts and condensation on windows. Try it and see for yourself!
