How to insulate windows from the cold.
Bubble plastic is also known for its good
insulating properties, both heat and cold, both
thermal and
acoustic for
soundproofing. It can
reduce your heating bill this winter: a layer of bubble film can be the solution to
thermally insulate the home and at the same time
soundproof the
window of an outside room.
Homemade thermal insulator:
-
Cut a piece of bubble film the same size as the window to be insulated.
- Fill a spray bottle with water and apply a thin layer of water to the side of the glass that faces the interior of the home.
-
Glue the cut out piece with the bubbles and place them facing outwards (towards you). Water, due to its binding properties, causes the paper to adhere to the window glass.

How to Insulate Windows from the Cold
If you are wondering what
bubble wrap is for, in addition to its best-known
uses as
a protector of objects in transport, it is one of the most popular options currently for
insulating windows and
soundproofing the house and other premises, both from the cold and the heat. . It is also a more economical option than other traditional thermal insulation.
It can also be used to insulate greenhouses, attics and windows. The air film is composed of
polyethylene and is a material available in different insulation options: single bubble or double bubble. For better result, sometimes this type of film is coated with pure
aluminum foil which gives the reflective behavior. This
insulation material does its job very well in maintaining the
temperature, because the interior air acts as an insulator and helps resist thermal changes.
