Duck MAX Strength Heavy Duty Insulating Film for Patio Door/Extra Large Window, 84-Inch x 120-Inch, Indoor, 284352

We we have a shower with a window in it and every single time we would finish showering. We’d have to dry the window framing to prevent any mold or water damage. It got old after a while sometimes you just don’t feel like doing it every single day and this was a solution that we considered and we are 1000% happy with this product. It saves us time and an added bonus keeps out The cold and hot outside air very well now we have been using this product for well over a month and never have to worry about drying anything because the plastic covers it. Highly recommend watching a YouTube video before installing it on person’s video was excellent that showed a similar product And the trick is to start from the top and work your way down. Let gravity be your friend. Also, make sure to get the plastic as tight as possible on the double sided tape first don’t rely on using the hairdryer to solve all your problems. The hairdryer does work great but if you can get this on the double sided tape Tight enough when you add the hairdryer to it, you won’t even see the plastic because it will be so tight and professional looking. It’s amazing when you’re done and I was shocked that basically anything from more than 5 feet away you can’t even see the plastic around the window. I’ll mention that our window frames are white and this double-sided tape was white too which helps make it look even better. It does work excellent as I said earlier to keep hot air out in the summer and cool air out in the winter it’s definitely water resistant, and when you go to use the hairdryer start from the outside edges and work your way to the center slowly at the end, work all around the four corners in a square pattern and eventually when you come into the middle, you have a beautiful seal. This product is excellent and I highly recommend it if you’re looking to save energy or you have a window in your shower like we did to keep out the water and damnedest from hitting the framing.

I installed this one all of my windows to cut down on cold and hot drafts. Bend a small corner of the sticky part of the paper edge of the tape into the sticky tape in order to get the paper off the roll. I ordered extra double sided tape and put 2 lines of tape along each of the 4 edges of every window. Stuck the top of the plastic on first and then gradually removed the paper from both sides of the tape as I secured the plastic to the window as tightly as I could. Fastened the bottom last, again securing it tightly. Used my hair dryer on high about 6 inches from the plastic in order to tighten it. The first window took me a long time but I got better as I went along. I am NOT handy. I am very pleased with how invisible it is and also that my cat has not (yet) punctured the plastic. Take your time and you will be happy with the finished product.

I bought the large size to do three windows. Two small and one 46 x 46. I had a little trouble getting the hang of attaching the plastic to the tape. It says not to remove the tape cover until all tape is installed. But, that is hard to do when you have to very carefully separate the tape cover from the tape. You have to start the corner, otherwise there is no way to get a hold of it. I ended up having to start a corner and then leave it so I could attach all the tape and then when I removed it all the plastic started sticking all over. I learned a trick by the second window, which was to only remove the tape cover on the part you were trying to stick the plastic too and once that is stuck then remove another section and so on. That way as you are working down the sides and bottom you don't have the plastic randomly sticking and making a big mess. The second window turned out good, but the first was a mess. When I moved on to the third window I ran out of tape. I have some double side 3 M Scotch poster tape which appears to be the same type of tape so I will use that if I have to. In the meantime I ordered another kit for the tape and then realized you can just order the tape alone for about two dollars.

I purchased this product to solve a unique problem. One of my windows is exposed with no overhang. During very heavy rains it collects water in the track it slides on faster than it can drain. I have been unable to find anyone to make a custom storm window. An awning would help, but that would destroy the architectural look of my home, unless I spend big bucks having a custom one built.I experimented by wrapping the screen in plastic from a craft store and that helped to reduce the flow so I could be sure that was indeed the problem. The plastic tore after a while and I had to put a trash bag over the screen.After searching for plastic film/sheets large enough locally I had the idea to try shrinkwrap.I cleaned the screen very thoroughly, wiping the frame with alcohol before applying the tape. The shrink film went on very easily and shrank up very tight with just a hair dryer. It is completely invisible from both the inside and outside. I installed the screen backwards in the window, so the screen is on the outside, the film is on the inside (but still exposed to elements). I am sure UV will get to it and it will not last long but I have enough plastic in the kit to do the window 4 times, and enough tape for at least one more. I think the one thing I would recommend is to get a slim pair of scissors if you were doing this on the inside, so you can trim very close. I ended up using a letter opener - one of those types that people hand out like business cards.I believe the purchase of a new window is in my future - one that does not open at all - but this is a great solution for the time being and significantly more attractive than the hefty bag I had on there before!It has been up for several weeks and so far is doing fine in the Georgia heat.

The plastic takes a couple of days to get used to, but after that, it's just like a window (if you install it without wrinkles). It pulls condensation away from the window frame, an added benefit, and it cuts out drafts while it keeps in heat. We put this up in September and take it down in May (northern Maine).
