I have double-paned windows all-around, but the inside still feels a bit cold during the winter months.
Is this thermal-barrier window film anything I should look into? Replacing the windows is not an option, although I have made sure all the seals and such are in good condition, as well as making sure they all latch properly. There are no drafts to speak of, just loss of heat through the glass. Comments? |

No way around it, glass is going to transfer heat and cold. All you can do is make sure the latches are tight, caulk around the frames and buy some insulated window coverings (i.e. drapes). Close the covers at night and when the sun is shining hard on the windows. Unless your windows are flat out worn out, you'll never save enough money on energy to justify better windows. And no, that film probably doesn't do much. |
