Window Shrink Film
A window shrink film, with low-visual distortion, is an effective tool to stop drafts, prevents frosty windows, and reduces condensation and utility bills in cold winter months.

A shrink film kit contains everything necessary to insulate windows to patio door against drafts, cold, and assists in increasing energy efficiency. A kit of this nature is ideally suited to vinyl, varnished wood, painted or aluminum frames – although it is vital to inspect the soundness of a painted frame, as any indication of paint peeling will lessen the effectiveness of the film.

A 5 indoor window kit for example consists of a single sheet of film (62-inch High x 210-inch wide), alcohol wipes, double-sided tape, and a step-by-step instruction sheet. Most of the packs come designed for internal use, although some can be found for external use.

Prior to shopping for window shrink film kits its vital to measure the dimensions of a window frame to ensure the ideal kit is purchased, as these range in size from 1 or 2 small-sized windows, to 5 or 6 standard-sized windows to those aimed at insulating a patio door.

A simple project to put into effect as the winter weather approaches. A DIY application of this nature can be complete with ease, requiring a hair dryer, scissors, or craft knife for installation. Once attached to a window frame, the film will shrink in size, tightensup to eliminate all wrinkles or creases, and appears clear-as-glass all with the assistance of a standard blow dryer.

All in all, window shrink film kits offer a cost-efficient option for those property owners in need of blocking out cold drafts, while at the same time reducing heating and energy bills.
