I saw a home show where they suggested using plastic kits that are
applied by using double sided tape and a very thin sheet of plastic.

I just tried them in my den. I stuck them to the double sided tape but
I have not heated them with a blow dryer or trimed the edges yet.

Anyone use these?

From what I understand the pocket of air is what provides the
insulation. The plastic will be covered by drapes.

Is shrinking them with a blow dryer necessary? I would think that
shrinking them would put more tension on the double sided tape.


I've used them. After using the hair dryer, it tightened the film up
such that it looked 'cleaner'/'nicer'. I can't speculate whether or
not it's necessary, but I think following the manufacturers
instructions is OK.
