Adjust the fields to see your estimate.

✓ Shrink film kits are the most cost-effective option and reduce heat loss by up to 35% per window
✓ Clean window frames thoroughly before applying tape — dust and grease cause early peel-off
✓ Thermal curtains work best when they extend 4–6 inches past the window frame on all sides to trap air
✓ Rigid foam panels can be cut to fit and stored for reuse each winter, making them cost-effective over time
