Window Insulation Film Kit

£9.99Savings vary

Apply the tape, stretch the film and warm it with a hairdryer for a clear, taut finish. The film traps a layer of air over the glass as a simple, temporary form of secondary glazing, and peels off in spring — a renter-friendly option where replacing windows isn’t possible.

  • Covers up to 5 windows
  • Clear when shrunk
  • Includes double-sided tape
  • Removable, renter-friendly

Your savings, honestly explained

Savings vary

The Energy Saving Trust describes secondary glazing film as a cheaper DIY option that “offers the least thermal benefits” of the secondary glazing types, doesn’t last long and can be hard to make look neat. It doesn’t publish a saving for film. Its figure of around £85 a year is for installing A-rated double glazing throughout a fully single-glazed semi-detached home, and doesn’t apply to this kit. We couldn’t find reliable independent evidence for a yearly saving from window film, so we don’t claim one.

What your saving depends on

  • Whether your windows are single glazed (little benefit on double glazing)
  • How well the film is fitted and sealed
  • How your home is heated and your fuel prices
