Budget-friendly and easy to apply, transparent Energy Film helps to decrease heat loss through windows in the winter and block incoming solar heat in the summer – without reducing the amount of natural light a room receives. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, “an estimated $30 billion or more of energy is lost per year through single pane windows”.

 

Installation of Energy Film requires three simple steps: 1) measuring, 2) applying a mild dish soap and water mixture and 3) removing the excess moisture with a squeegee. For larger windows, multiple sheets of this inexpensive window insulation can be applied side by side for a nearly seamless application. To accommodate unusually shaped or small windows, Energy Film can be trimmed to fit with a utility knife. Sheet size include 24” x 48’, 36” x 48”. 48” x 84” as well as a 49” x 100” roll.

 

Energy Film can be purchase online or at your neighborhood Home Depot. Photos courtesy of Energy Film.
