How to build energy efficient double insulating storm window inserts with super clear and strong 3 mil polyester film, to reduce heating costs, prevent condensation, stop drafts, and winterize your windows and house. • Save money this winter on your heating bill. Very cost effective and lasting 30 years or more, these interior storm windows are much more durable and twice as warm as single shrink film window insulation kits that only last 1 or 2 years. • You can also tape clear plastic directly over non-opening picture windows and some opening windows. Adding a double insert on top of that, you're adding 3 layers of glazing to single or double pane glass, creating 3-4 air spaces. It's the air spaces, not the glazing that create insulation. • In the video I said each airspace adds R-2, but some sources say each space adds about R-1.2. • Even so, R-3 double glass plus 3 air spaces x R-1.2 each = R - 6.6, still a huge difference. • Adding interior storm windows will also reduce air infiltration and stop condensation on inside of windows in winter. Plastic is warmer than glass to the touch, and moisture does not condense on warm surfaces. • My first inserts lasted 35 years, kept our house warm, eliminated condensation, and drastically cut our heating costs. • Especially effective if you have older drafty single pane windows, or live in a cold climate, but it's surprising how much difference they make even added to modern double pane windows. • Note that to be effective in keeping heat out in the summer, you may need external shading as well like an awning or solar screen, to keep the sun from shining in through the window. • If you want to heat shrink your plastic for a totally smooth storm window, I'd suggest 1-2 mil clear polyester. 3 mil may be slightly wavy but hardly noticeable, and is too thick to shrink easily. • 0:00 Stop Drafts Window Condensation • 1:00 Best Way to Insulate Windows • 1:49 Plastic Window Insulation • 2:16 Winterize Windows House • 3:02 Best Window Insulation Film • 3:46 Building Storm Window Insert • 5:54 How to Build Wood Frames • 7:11 Handle for Window Insert • 7:37 Weatherstrip Tape • 8:33 How to Stretch Plastic • 10:57 Clean Insulate Fixed Windows • 11:29 DIY Storm Window Inserts • 12:17 Save Money on Heating • Materials: Here is the best deal I've found on clear polyester film, in 20 or 40 widths, 12' to 100' lengths, and I'd suggest 2 or 3 mil thickness: https://amzn.to/3rveX3R • I use this Frost King open cell foam weatherstrip, 1/4 thick, 3/4 wide: https://amzn.to/46m6OOg • Randall 1/4 x 3/4 weatherstrip is lower cost: https://amzn.to/4eXrMax • M-D weatherstrip comes in 4 sizes: https://amzn.to/4e4VgCm • This Frost King 1/2 thick weatherstrip is lower cost: https://amzn.to/3QJ4vi2 • 3M window film mounting tape has good reviews except for a bad batch in '22: • https://amzn.to/418IQ7t • Frost King double face mounting tape is lower priced: https://amzn.to/3GoGQ1l • Clear gorilla tape is strong and works well for a handle: https://amzn.to/3Fr9Pkw • If you don't have a countersink, here's one: https://amzn.to/3Q8IDfI • I use Brillianize for cleaning and polishing plastic films: https://amzn.to/3RHfOsL • Novus plastic cleaner is also great for cleaning plastic film without scratching: https://amzn.to/3Npwe6d • As an Amazon associate, I may earn a small commission on purchases you make within 24 hours after following one of these links.
