Interior Storm Window Inserts Kit — Reusable Window Insulation

Bought 1 to try

I bought 1 window kit to try out. The quality of the materials looks great. I haven’t installed it yet but am pretty sure I’ll be buying more to cover all my windows. Being able to reuse is a big plus.

RuxEco Window Inserts - Reusable Storm Window Insulation

I had used a similar product 40+ years ago...one tends to loose site when you move about, life happens etc. After living in my home for 19+ years, tends to get a little chillier each year. I started looking for the plastic insulation for windows and came across this site!! First I have resealed ALL windows with the weather stripping, I caulked and re-caulked the entire upstairs, and ordered two three packs of (48"x72"). Once they came in I immediately cleaned the windows, and each blind slat, then installed them on my two windows in my bedroom. Yes, I fully intended on covering the window with the blinds close. I have a lot of allergies, so opening windows is a no go. I can honestly say, I am pretty cozy and stay warm in the evenings, even during low temperatures. Last year I tried keeping my thermostat down at 98 degrees in winter, but kept putting it one or two degrees higher to take the chill out of the air. This year, I have kept the thermostat at 68 degrees, sometimes I forget I have it set for 67 degrees from 430am - 5pm during the weekdays. Before installing, going to bed meant, socks, slippers, bathrobe and several blankets - sometimes still getting a chill, after installation, can sleep normally and even got warm enough to move some of the blanket off, no chills. This weekend, I will be installing the inserts in the two other upstairs bedrooms, then the living room. Then will follow up with a couple of the basement windows. Thank you!!! works GREAT, absolutely NO cold coming from the window area at all!! And on the PLUS Side, the noise that was really bothering me, sensitive ears, I may slightly hear a muffled sound, but can work and concentrate on the computer without issues. Thank You!!! MPetry

solid medium quality option

If you have older windows and don't want to replace, there's a few options. 1. Get the shrinkwrap style kits - need to reapply annually, when you remove the glue/tape the paint comes off, and the adhesive doesn't always stick. 2. Expensive windows inserts that are about 70$+ each - this is the best option if you can afford it 3. This product. It lives in middle of the two in that it's not obscenely expensive while being affective, but isn't as pretty as the inserts. The plastic channels aren't removable without paint damage, but they're not too conspicuous in most use cases
