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. The heat transfer from your radiators and fireplaces all contribute to the warmth in your home, so it’s a real issue when a lot of it is lost through your glass windows.Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.

Reducing energy usage for heating and cooling is an easy way to help do your part in conserving the Earth's natural resources. The different items that we explored in our reviews are just a couple of examples that show just how easy and inexpensive it is to bolster the heat retention in your property, without compromising on space, light, cost and appearance. So I applied the film over the entire window and put a slit down the middle separating along the tape seam. This year I’m teaming up with Duck Brand to show you how I’ve perfected covering my windows while leaving the blinds in place.Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable).
