<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Greetings,<br>
<br>
Generally the tape isn't great, and can remove paint when you take
it off. The single sheet of plastic film doesn't add much to the
insulation value of the window. In the best of circumstances
they only last a year.<br>
<br>
I would be happy to make you up interior storm window kits for
your windows. <br>
See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.greenfret.com/storms.html">http://www.greenfret.com/storms.html</a> or
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.greenfret.com/order_storms.html">http://www.greenfret.com/order_storms.html</a> (for measuring and
ordering info). Make a frame, add two layers of film (for an
additional two air spaces). I use high quality tape (and it never
touches your paint), 100 gauge very clear film, and 1/2" x 1/2"
weatherstrip. Kits run about $20 apiece (depending on size).
There are over 10,000 of these in Maine made to my design (though
mostly not made by me). They are very easy to make, I teach a
workshop and teach everyone from young (14ish) kids, to elder
ladies how to make them.<br>
<br>
Drop me a line if you want to discuss options.<br>
<br>
Thank You Kindly,<br>
<br>

<div>I'm curious to hear from anyone who's used these kits
(typically saran wrap and double stick tape, but there may
be fancier versions available). I'd like to insulation a
bunch of single pane wood windows, many of which are set
into splayed window wells. <br>

Are there products/brands you prefer/would not recommend?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Tricks you learned by working with these materials?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
What about using the saran wrap on a lightweight frame that
could be (re-)moved on an opening window? <br>
<br>
Other thoughts?<br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks very much.<br>
