I did the bubble wrap trick. It does work VERY well. Place a hand on glass then on the bubble wrapped covered glass and there is a nice difference. Some windows I leave it on the top window glass (double hung single pane wood frame windows here) and bought the clear shrink plastic for the bottom panes so we can see out. Furnace doesn't seem to run as much. Still have more windows to do yet...
which side of the window do you recommend sticking on? I heard in between the window glasses, like the inside of the window, but you do it from the outside. Does one make a significant difference, or it doesnt matter which side of the window?
Does it help to keep the heat out in 100-110 degrees summer especially in case you have a west side window that has to bear extreme heat for most part of the day?
I bought some film from Lidl that you stick on with soap and water and it lets heat through the window glass but not out, and any heat in the house bounces back in. It was only £5 for a roll so £20 for the front of my house and it also stops people seeing in when walking past, but not like total blocked out, it just looks as it does on normal windows at an angle in the sun, but I can't recommend it enough. You can get some that stop more light coming in as well, but I think mine was 25% but the windows are hot to touch in the summer about 42°c and it should be in every window in the UK. Obviously depending on the orientation of your home, but I wish I'd found it years ago. It absorbs 70% thermal from the sun, blocks out 99% UV radiation and 25% light, but if you want it darker you can get up to 75% light block, and try and get some I'm promising you that you will be amazed. You put a few drops of washing up liquid and mix with water in a spray bottle and drench your windows, peel the film so the sticky side goes onto the glass, and the box has a blade and a plastic thing to get all the air bubbles and water out, and when it's dry you cannot tell it's on apart from less light, but it's actually better with that little reduced light. It's called "3-in-1 sun protection film" from a firm called PARKSIDE and I got mine for £4.99 a roll from LIDL and it's the best thing I've ever bought.
Do you need to apply it from inside or outside the window? Will the heating get effected if it's applied from outside as from inside there are grills which make the application extremely difficult
As for electrical outlets, buy plastic plugs to put in the outlets not in use. On cold and windy days, hold a match in front of an outlet on an exterior wall and you'll be shocked at the cold breeze coming through it.
Stumbling onto your channel THIS IS A GREAT IDEAS I'm freezing my buns off in my house trying to save some money heating gone up so much thank you sir I mean I really thank and yes I did subscribe to your channel.
Hi there, Can you also do this on the outside of the window? I’ve got huge old fashioned door and window handles and I’ve got kittens who might tear it from the inside.
Watched this yesterday, went to UK diy store. Bubblewrap sold for 'house moving' but not insulation. Two sizes of bubble. Does it matter on bubble size?
