Freaking love this stuff
I love this stuff! It works perfectly for drafty windows - Like in apartments. Should also keep out bugs, dirt, and perhaps a light sound barrier.Installation is beyond simple. Anyone can do this, and alone. There is plenty of room for error.As it happens, I had perfect application on four 3x5 windows. Flawless. But, I want to talk about something that I've noticed a few others mention that I was curious about myself. (I got on here hoping to find an answer, and I didn't. So I'm going to try to answer it)The first day after installation of these, I noticed sound coming from them. It wasn't from *wind* like some people assume. I think it was a mix of static and tension, (and maybe sunlight?) Though, I heard it at night too. The sound - slow, soft crinkling of a potato chip bag.. Usually every 20 seconds or so.It's the time that leaves me to believe it's some form of static discharge.This went on for two days before I decided it wasn't 'settling' and I started to think of what was causing it.Well, if this were permanent, you can bet I wouldn't be giving this product 5 stars. So here's how I fixed it.Remember how I said I had a flawless application, but this product leaves room for error? (if you skimmed ahead, that's what you get for being impatient). Well, my application was too perfect. It was as tight as a drum, stretched all across each side perfectly. I had no problem removing an entire side at a time and repositioning it so it was half an inch closer to the window (loosening the fit). I didn't do this on ALL 4 sides, just two. After doing this, the sound was gone! Bam! It's still pretty tight, but nowhere like it was before. It still tight enough to where you can't see it unless you have a lamp in the reflection. Otherwise it's invisible.I'm not sure why or what combination of things caused the sound, but after repositioning it to be ever so slightly looser, all is golden!So my advice, Don't get it drum tight the first time around... And if you do, and experience this noise, just loosen a side or two and it should go away.To apply, I put tape on all 4 sides, then cut the proximal size of plastic, started at the top, and worked my way to the bottom. I didn't have any issues, but the tape is strong, sticky and forgiving. It sticks great to my paint, without removing it (the paint) , and can be restuck many many times as far as I can tell.I did it alone, and you probably can too. Two people would make it easier, but it isn't mandatory.Having a sharp pair of scissors comes in handy. To trim the excess, I didn't trim, but glided the scissors around to leave as clean of an edge as possible.I also didn't have a hairdryer, but I did have a space heater which worked perfectly, Probably better than a hairdryer.It came with two rolls of film. I did 4 windows and have enough left over from the first roll for one more window, and haven't touched the second roll. (Each roll should get you 5 windows, and I'm on track to get just that). I also have more than enough tape left over and have begun to use it for home projects.It's super strong, invisible, thin, and removable. I love it on it's own and would pay 10$ just for that.****and if you want to get creative... Consider attaching a neodymium magnet to your blind controller in a fashion that could allow you to open and close them as desired, if you so wished! I haven't tried this but I know it would work with some creativity (perhaps super gluing a flat magnet to the base of the spinny thing (attaching it so the N/S polarity is horizontal/perpendicular to the thingy) .. So that you can manipulate it by rotating an equally strong magnet near it (while keeping them apart of course - using your hand as a barrier). If you've played with high powered magnets before, you'll understand how this could/should work. an interesting thought to fix the fact that you can't control your blinds once the film is on) Similar thoughts apply to attaching a magnet to the draw cords (though, they may be too heavy for such ambitious ideas) But adding a weight to the draw string could be a way to counter that. Who knows!I have one more window to do, and I will test this out myself and update with whatever results I have.. Even if they are just awful.

Transparent, Seals easily and easy to apply
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2024
This works fantastic. I measured the width of the two windows together first to make sure that I ordered the right size because the width was longer than a typical window. .The tape was easy to apply. It took about 5 minutes per window to heat seal with the blow dryer. Now I have zero drafts and my home has been much warmer. You can only tell there is plastic over the windows if you go close and touch it. Will definitely buy again next season!

1) Sí es muy notorio el cambio de temperatura después de aislar las ventanas. Es simple, básicamente tapamos la ventilación, por lo que el calor no escapa. Yo utilizo un calentador eléctrico de convección, que crea un ciclo de aire caliente/frío que circula por la habitación y depende de que no haya fugas para mantener caliente la habitación. Poner el aislante me permitió bajar la intensidad del calentador de máxima a media, lo que también se traduce en una reducción de costos. Secundariamente, produce un olor a encerrado.
2) La cinta se adhiere muy bien al marco de la ventana y al plástico como tal. Las ventanas que tengo no son planas, tienen una manija, por lo que no pude colocar el plástico y tensarlo "como vidrio" como lo anuncian, porque corría el riesgo de romper el aislante. Es imperativo ser muy cuidadoso al colocar el plástico sobre la cinta, porque por lo mismo de la manija hice un pliegue en la parte inferior por la cual se fugaba el aire. Una abertura pequeña fue suficiente para hacer que el calor se escapara y se enfriara el cuarto. Casi no llovió mientras la usé, pero de la poca lluvia que hubo no tuve problema.
3) Un comentario por ahí decía que no utilizáramos la secadora, y tiene razón que con el frío el plástico se estira. Sin embargo, si no tensas el plástico, el aislante se va a estar inflando y desinflando y va a hacer ruido constante como si estuviéramos metiendo la mano en una bolsa de papitas. Cuando hay corrientes fuertes de aire, el plástico se infla y desinfla violentamente, hasta que se despega la parte más débil y se crea una fuga. Yo únicamente le pasé la secadora sobre la cinta para derretir el pegamento.
Una gran contra que se llevan estos aislantes es que sí tengo una preocupación constante por si llega haber un incendio, puesto que cortan la ventilación. Dejar una ventilación aparte ayuda, pero no se aprovecha el aislante al máximo.
En general, las recomiendo. El precio es súper accesible, te dan bastante aislante y fue el único con el tamaño adecuado para mis ventanas. No he usado las 3M, pero no creo que me pierda de mucho.
