and if you want to get creative... Consider attaching a neodymium magnet to your blind controller in a fashion that could allow you to open and close them as desired, if you so wished! I haven't tried this but I know it would work with some creativity (perhaps super gluing a flat magnet to the base of the spinny thing (attaching it so the N/S polarity is horizontal/perpendicular to the thingy) .. So that you can manipulate it by rotating an equally strong magnet near it (while keeping them apart of course - using your hand as a barrier). If you've played with high powered magnets before, you'll understand how this could/should work. an interesting thought to fix the fact that you can't control your blinds once the film is on) Similar thoughts apply to attaching a magnet to the draw cords (though, they may be too heavy for such ambitious ideas) But adding a weight to the draw string could be a way to counter that. Who knows! The best window insulation kits are effective, affordable, and easy to install. Most kits are installed by placing double-sided tape around the perimeter of the window jamb. Then, window film is applied to the tape. At the bottom of the window, the film is attached to a piece of tape on the sill, making a seal. Finally, the film is heated with a handheld hair dryer to create a transparent airtight seal that’s free from wrinkles. FAQs Well, if this were permanent, you can bet I wouldn't be giving this product 5 stars. So here's how I fixed it. It's important to consider the sizes and number of windows you want to cover, research different materials, and settle on a price you’re willing to pay before you go shopping.

Magnetic insulation kits require DIYers to install magnetic strips around the window, then cut the film to match. They can be more challenging to install than plastic film kits, and the magnets often create a less-than-airtight seal. DIY fans, rejoice! Window insulation is not supposed to be a forever fix. It’s more of a tactic to help cut the cost of your energy bill when you can’t afford to replace or upgrade your windows. For the most part, the only tools you should need include a measuring tape, scissors, and a hairdryer. Still have questions about choosing the best window insulation kits? Here’s some more information to help you decide. Q. How does a window insulation kit work? I also didn't have a hairdryer, but I did have a space heater which worked perfectly, Probably better than a hairdryer.Installing the tape is easy, as you apply it by simply pressing it onto your windows. Applying the tape will also keep out pollution and dust, which keeps the inside of your home a little cleaner as well as a little warmer. The tape is designed to come off without leaving residue and without damaging wood trim, but you may want to test a small spot just to be on the safe side.

There is absolutely nothing to fear from insulating window film in terms of ruining the aesthetics of your home. In a bygone time, window films were generally reflective foil-like materials that reduced visibility and looked a little strange, however, the technology surrounding insulating window film has ensured that there are many different variations of window film from reflective to completely transparent options. Appearance is important for your home, and you shouldn’t have to compromise on product quality or appearance. UV Protection & Glare ReductionIn short, yes, window film really does work. Although window film isn’t magic, and if your windows suffer from air-leak problems or the insulation in your house isn’t up to a good standard, window film won’t solve your heat retention problems. The Frost King Extra Large Window Insulation Kit is the best window insulation kit if you’re needing to insulate two large picture windows or if you have multiple small windows. It comes with two 62 x 210-inch plastic sheets with 168 feet of double-sided mounting tape, which is enough to cover two picture windows or 10 separate windows without fear of running out. If your house insulation is to a good standard, and your windows too, then window film will definitely provide that added layer of thermal insulation that will make a massive difference in the comfort of your home. However, window film not only benefits the comfort of your home but also energy costs, with better heat retention in your home leading to less wasted energy and reduced energy bills each week. So my advice, Don't get it drum tight the first time around... And if you do, and experience this noise, just loosen a side or two and it should go away.
