"I covered 2 large and 1 small window, and have enough left over to do the same next year."
"* Recently moved into a new place where the winters are pretty harsh and had two huge windows facing the street that was letting in a good amount of cold draft."
"Says it covers 5 windows, we actually got more out of it, comes as one large sheet which is much nicer so you don't need to worry about it covering your specific size window, you just cut it to size."
"I used this around the frame on my attic door because I could feel a draft."
"Get some double sided tape (which will pull off the paint on your windowsills), some saran wrap, and regular tape (because saran wrap is limited size)."
"* The tape wasn't as good as the last time I purchased these."

Quick
"* Easy to cut, easy to install (good directions), and seems to get the job done pretty well. Good for the money. I covered 2 large and 1 small window, and have enough left over to do the same next year."
"* Recently moved into a new place where the winters are pretty harsh and had two huge windows facing the street that was letting in a good amount of cold draft... When I was finished, I still had quite a bit of shrink and double-sided tape left... I really can tell the difference this has made in providing decent insulation coverage by how my house feels when I come in from the cold."
"The windows don't look bad either from sitting in my chair across the room you can't even tell the film is on there. Says it covers 5 windows, we actually got more out of it, comes as one large sheet which is much nicer so you don't need to worry about it covering your specific size window, you just cut it to size... Measure and cut the plastic (very easy, was one cut for us because it was tall enough to cover whole window so just needed it to be long enough)."
"I used this around the frame on my attic door because I could feel a draft. It's cut down on the cold air wafting through. I sealed it a few months ago, and it's holding strong."
"Get some double sided tape (which will pull off the paint on your windowsills), some saran wrap, and regular tape (because saran wrap is limited size)... The first window I installed didn't work out because I didn't realize that I had two layers of the plastic (it's that thin) because I didn't unfold it enough... Of all the windows I've installed, none of them look "clear as glass" although they did when I first installed."

"They have made a huge difference, it is comfortable enough that it is November here in Minnesota and we have only turned the heat on in one room. The windows don't look bad either from sitting in my chair across the room you can't even tell the film is on there. Says it covers 5 windows, we actually got more out of it, comes as one large sheet which is much nicer so you don't need to worry about it covering your specific size window, you just cut it to size... Measure and cut the plastic (very easy, was one cut for us because it was tall enough to cover whole window so just needed it to be long enough)... Run the included doubled sided tape along the top, bottom, and sides of the window frame, and then remove the top paper... I say that mostly because I am 5'3 and can't reach the top of windows so I held things up while my taller husband sealed the top part first... * If you use more than one hair dryer, plug them into different outlets so you don't trip the circuit breaker like we did."
"Get some double sided tape (which will pull off the paint on your windowsills), some saran wrap, and regular tape (because saran wrap is limited size)... The first window I installed didn't work out because I didn't realize that I had two layers of the plastic (it's that thin) because I didn't unfold it enough... The second window I installed has nearly completely pulled away from the tape... Of all the windows I've installed, none of them look "clear as glass" although they did when I first installed... All I can say is that this stuff was a useless waste of my time and money... (BTW, curtains made the same degree of difference and actually dress UP a room, instead of turning your room into a ghetto. ) I have no idea why this company is still in business except that every year, ignorant people like me unknowingly purchase this trash."
