A little warmer this year
Every year I say I'm going to cover the windows and every year I don't. This year however I looked on Amazon and found the right product for the right price. I even got the nine pack which worked out well because I turned one sheet sideways and used it to cover two smaller kitchen windows.
I followed the directions and cleaned the surface once with cleaner and when I was ready to apply the tape I cleaned again with Alcohol. The first one was a little crooked (but still worked) but by the time I got to #4 it was smooth sailing.
I can feel them move slightly in the breeze so I know that they are keeping the cold out. I would definitely recommend this product.
ps I'm a not so young lady and I did it all by myself.

A Cold Feeling
You have to wonder about consumer products that don't deliver the benefits that are the reasons for their very existence. Imagine a shoelace that doesn't stay tied and can't even be added to the shoe. Should such a shoelace exist? Is it even a shoelace by definition? This conundrum can be applied to this Frost King window insulation product, even after following all the instructions to the letter. Upon removing the plastic from the package, the material is folded in such a way that it clings to itself very tightly, making it necessary to spend several minutes trying to unfold the plastic. The two-sided tape used to attach the plastic to the window frame is alarmingly weak, perhaps to appease consumer fears of damaging the paint or finish of the window frame. Fair enough, but this makes the tape too weak to even do the job it's supposed to do. Also, the paper protecting one side of the two-sided tape is annoying difficult to remove. After waiting the prescribed amount of time, I was generally unable to keep the tape stuck to the surfaces of my window panes, even though the panes' material is listed as eligible for use with this product.
Upon finally sticking the plastic to the tape around the windows and shrinking the plastic, with a hair dryer as directed, the tape failed on three of my five windows, completely eliminating the potential "insulation" promised by this product. The only thing saving my purchase from complete oblivion is that everything actually worked out as advertised on two of my windows, and a paltry amount of actual insulation from the cold seems to be the result. But my remaining windows are of the same nature and I followed the Frost King instructions to the letter in all cases. So here we have a product that either doesn't do what it's meant to do (especially the tape), or only works some of the time. I have had a 40% success rate with the installation process, and a paltry amount of success with actually keeping out the cold, even with those windows where the product worked as advertised. Ask yourself again, what is the reason for this Frost King product's existence? [~doomsdayer520~]

Excellent value, easy to use!!!!
I bought the nine pack and actually got 10 windows in my house. This has 9 separate sheets 42" by 62". There is more than ample tape, which sticks really well, even on the old window cills that I have. Shrinks up nicely, hopefully the tape will last through the dryest of the dry part of the winter. Got the nine pack on sale at a big improvement chain store for around 11 bucks, great buy. hope they work well for you too. Best of the 3 brands I have used over the years for indoor kits.
