I decided to use inexpensive kitchen plastic wrap instead of pricey window insulation, and it turned out to be surprisingly effective.
By creating a layer of trapped air, the wrap serves as a “third pane” to keep the heat in the space. Because I didn’t need to use extra heaters to keep the house warm, I was able to reduce my heating expenses.
The ability of this insulating technique to stop window condensation is an additional benefit. As is well known, mold can grow at the borders where the glass meets the frame when there is a buildup of moisture on windows. By using the plastic wrap, this risk is greatly decreased.
What is the correct way to install it? Here’s what you should know.
To guarantee a tight and secure fit, it’s critical to realize that the film should stick to the window frame rather than the glass. The results are well worth the time and effort required for installation.
Although there are numerous techniques to connect the film, double-sided tape is one of the easiest and most efficient. For a neat and efficient seal, carefully smooth the film out after it is in place to prevent wrinkles.
You now have an easy and affordable solution to increase the insulation in your house. In addition to being reasonably priced, kitchen plastic wrap works wonders at keeping out drafts and moisture while lowering heating expenses. It’s a tactic worth attempting!
