Tools and Hardware Reviews of 3M 2149W-6 Indoor 1-XL Window Insulator Kit, Fits Window 6'8" x 19'5"Customer Review: These tips may help you Summary: 4 Stars
This is the first time I have insulated windows like this. I really liked this stuff, but I deducted 1 star for lack of instructions. After using this product a few times, here are some tips:
- Cut each piece of plastic about 1/2 inch longer than you need. If the piece you cut is too big for the window, it will shrink when you blow-dry it, but if it's too small for the window, it's un-usable.
- Make sure you cut on a clean surface (i.e., not a carpet that has dog hair on it, like mine).
- Start with your smallest windows first, until you get the hang of it.
- If you have blinds on the window, it's not impossible to use this shrink-wrap, but it is definitely much more difficult.
- If you have blinds, apply the plastic between the glass and the blinds.
- Use the highest heat setting on the blow dryer. The plastic shrinks quickly and tightly.
- For windows with blinds or for large windows, it would be a lot easier with two people. Small windows can be done by one person.
Overall, I really recommend this stuff, and it definitely helps prevent heat loss. There was a very noticeable difference in my basement right away. I ended up putting it on all the windows in my house. As long as the piece of plastic you install is clean, you really can't even tell the plastic is there. It is also a very handy fly-detector --- if a fly lands on it (in an effort to fly towards the light), the sound of its steps is amplified against the plastic and you can hear it from another room. This has allowed me to safely escort several flies out of my house rather than finding them dead in a week on the windowsill. :-)
