(More customer reviews)I'll tell you the bottom line early: This is a cheap, year-long fix to an otherwise very expensive problem, and I can't rave enough about how effective this stuff is for old windows (don't know about how much a difference it would make for newer, double-pane windows). Scroll to the bottom of this review for instructions on effective installation technique.
I bought this kit last winter for $10ish a piece at Home Depot to help with the shoddy, VERY old windows in my 2-bedroom St. Louis, MO, apartment. I actually think the $10 kit was a 2-pack (says "Extra Large 2Pak," "2 Extra Large Windows or 10 Standard Windows," "2 Sheets"). Anyway, my bedroom windows don't even close all the way, and they are single-pane (only one layer of glass), probably from the 1940s or 1950s at the latest. As a renter, it was not worth the rent-bump to get new windows out of my landlord, when this kit outfitted my apartment for a whole year for ~$40. And it probably saved me a couple hundred dollars on utilities. In fact, I wish I had done it sooner last year; we have terrible, and terribly unpredictable, winters that last from Oct/Nov until April or May, sometimes. I am ordering this kit in early fall this year, to get the most out of it this year.
At first, installing this kit seems a little bit of a pain because, well, installation is involved - but it is WELL-worth the money. You just need this kit and a hair blow-dryer. It took the chill out of my bedroom, which is consistently 10 degrees colder than the rest of my apartment. I have odd-sized windows, so this large-sized kit did the trick. Really, once you get the technique down, installation is not much of a hassle. Having done it last winter, I have no hesitations about doing it this winter. I had to spend a few hours to do the 6 big, douple-wide windows in my apartment (including the time it took to learn the technique), but the effect lasted all winter and spring. It would probably take veterans only
