Comfort Plus Premium Insulating Film

With winter knocking on our doors i thought it was time to see if i could do some extra insulation.

My office where i type my little stories it gets pretty cold and because i don’t want to put the heating higher just for one room i decided to give a window film a try.

A window film is basically a piece of plastic that you secure with double sided tape to keep it in place. The Kit i got comes with two pieces of film (64″ x 42″) so enough for two windows. First you apply the tape and on that you stick the plastic with a couple of cm overhang. Then when that is secure you get the hairdryer out and start attacking the creases if you do this slowly and from side to side you really see them disappear and after a couple of minutes you get a fairly smooth surface and you can hardly see that there is a film in front of the window. And because there is air between your window and the foil your room should get warmer and that means you will save energy to heat it.

My first impression is that it feels warmer and it looks great. I didn’t get all the surface as smooth as glass but it takes a trained eye to notice that the film is there.

I would say give this product a try if you want an simple and easy way insulate your window.
