I've used bubble wrap on windows for two three+ years now, and I'm amazed how quick and easy it is. This year, we are even covering the windows in the guest room -- we just take the bubble wrap down when guests come, and put it back up when they leave -- 15 seconds a window.
This is a simple technique for insulating windows with bubble wrap packing material. Bubble wrap is often used to insulate greenhouse windows in the winter, but it also seems to work fine for windows in the house. You can use it with or without regular or insulating window shades. It also works for windows of irregular shape, which can be difficult to find insulating shades for.
Its been five years since I put this page up, and I've heard from MANY people who are quite happy with using bubble wrap for window insulation.
The view through the bubble wrapped window is fuzzy, so don't use it on windows where you need a clear view. But, it does let plenty of light through.
I know you came here to look at bubble wrap for your windows, but our site also has literally hundreds of good practical projects and ideas on energy efficiency, solar heating and electricity. and the Half Plan to help you cut your total energy use in half.
