 World's most cost-effective energy saver for homeowners with drafty windows November 22, 2008
Jon Udell (Keene, NH, USA)
I can't understand the low ratings, this is an amazing product. Takes some care to install properly. Press the double-stick tape firmly. Use an Exacto knife to score the paper backing in order to peel it away. You can attach the plastic loosely, it's surprising how much slack will shrink out. br / br /Use a heat gun instead of the recommended blow dryer, those burn out. And keep the heat gun moving. br / br /If you trim the excess when you're done, you'll have to look closely to see that it's there. And you've effectively turned a double-glazed window -- if you have double-hung windows plus storms -- into an airtight triple-glazed window. Done right it's incredibly effective. We leave them year-round on windows that don't need to be opened.

I can safely say that I no longer fear death after my experience with Warp Brothers SK-38 18' Shrink-It Window Insulation Kit. I ordered two of these to seal off the drafty windows in my bedroom. Upon arrival, one of the plastic insulation sheets was ripped and the other one was so tightly clung by its folds that it ripped as we unfolded it. So much for a tight seal on the window.pDespite the rip, we were able to use one of the sheets over the window. The tape that comes with the kit (the kit, by the way, is a piece of saran wrap and some double-sided tape. But I knew that before buying it) didn't stick to our window so I had to heat it first. Then it was so sticky that I couldn't get the backing off. Eventually, though, I got the plastic in place and started to hair-dry the thing. Amazingly, it formed a really tight seal and effectively shrink-wrapped our window. We were impressed by that. We were not impressed by its ability to keep out the cold, however, as we immediately felt a draft again even with the plastic properly in place. While your milage may vary, the only increased warmth I felt was the searing rage I began to feel towards the Warp Brothers.pBuy this item if you think shrink-wrapping your window might be fun. If you want the room to be warmer, buy a space heater.
