Introduction:
As the cold months settle in, keeping your home warm can become a challenge, especially when you’re trying to avoid skyrocketing energy bills. A simple and cost-effective solution that I discovered to combat drafts and retain warmth was using inexpensive window film. Not only did it keep the chill out, but it also improved the comfort of my home throughout the winter. My mother-in-law was astounded when I shared this simple life hack with her. This article will walk you through how applying window film can be an easy and budget-friendly way to ensure your home stays warm, cozy, and energy-efficient during the colder months.
Ingredients (Materials Needed):
Window film (insulating film or shrink film)
Measuring tape
Scissors
Spray bottle with water (optional, for better adhesion)
Hair dryer or heat gun
Plastic adhesive strips (optional, depending on film type)
Clean cloth or sponge
Instructions:
Measure Your Windows: Before you begin, measure the dimensions of the windows you want to cover with the window film. Use a measuring tape to get accurate measurements, including both the height and width of the window frame. It’s important to buy a window film that is large enough to cover the entire window with some extra for trimming.
Clean the Window Surface: Thoroughly clean the windows before applying the film. Use a clean cloth or sponge to remove dust, dirt, and grime. A clean surface is crucial for the window film to adhere properly and ensure a smooth, bubble-free application. Allow the windows to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
