Duck MAX Strength Heavy Duty Insulating Film for Patio Door/Extra Large Window, 84-Inch x 120-Inch, Indoor, 284352

This film is roughly twice as thick as standard Duck shrink film right out of the box. A couple of my windows are drier than the rest. This film is ideal for them, and it will continue to be my go-to film in the future. The tape appears to be the standard Duck window tape (which comes with the regular film), but it works perfectly. This film has a tad less glass in it than the previous one. It was clearer than the thinner film, but it didn't show up once it was shrunk. The drapes had been re-installed. I can't tell the difference between a regular film and this one from the outside. this thicker layer of film That's a plus for me because I don't want the place to appear too cheesy from the street. Although I used to prefer 3M window film, I now prefer Duck because it performs just as well but is less expensive. Thank you, Duck, for such a wonderful product. )br>br>When the instructions state to **remove tape at the end of the heating season**, do so. Ensure that you carry out the task. The longer you leave the tape residue on the window, the more difficult it will be to remove. My windows are made of vinyl and are white in color. Normally, dirt is easily removed from the surface, but not if I leave the tape up for too long. After a while, the sticky substance becomes semi-solid. long-term This appears to take months, if not years, to complete. I'd say it takes about 8 months for this to start, but the exact time depends on the temperature, humidity, UV from the sun, and other factors. I've left film on windows that I never open for up to three years. In one case, the film finally let go of the tape, but in two other cases, it stayed put the entire time, and I only had to remove it because the film was filthy. I would have left the film in place and just cleaned it with window cleaner if I had known how difficult removing the tape residue was. I use a microfiber cloth to clean my windows. I've never had a problem removing the tape after the recommended 6 months or so. ANY surface can be taped from. br>br>PREPARATION IS THE KEY TO SUCCESSFUL USE OF SHRINK FILM KITS. When it says to CLEAN the tape surface properly, follow the instructions. This accomplishes two critical tasks in the process: 1) ensuring that the tape lasts the entire season, and 2) ensuring that the tape is easy to remove when you need to. I clean my vinyl windows with window cleaner first, then use rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball to quickly wipe the surface clean. I did the same thing with wood windows, though I tested both first and didn't leave either on the finish surface for nearly as long. This stuff must be taken down as soon as possible in the spring on finished wood surfaces. You'll be fine if you do as the instructions say; if you leave it up longer, you risk getting dried tape residue that requires a lot of spraying, soaking, scraping, and elbow grease to remove. br>br>I've used this product for a couple of non-emergency situations. applications that run on windows Two ceiling openings, an attic access, and a disabled recirculating fan can all be found in my bathroom. The film did an excellent job of controlling the amount of heat that was escaping and making the bathroom feel significantly warmer. Those are *semi-fluid* surfaces. paint with a high gloss* When I removed the tape as instructed, it came off without a hitch. I'd be hesitant to use this tape on any flat or satin wall paint, such as standard flat ceiling paint. Because this isn't a labeled use, you should test it first. The less glossy/porous the surface, the more difficult it is to remove the tape without causing damage or leaving tape residue.

ultra-thick groundsheet that is light! (1. (10' x 7' x 5 mil) This Duck MAX Strength Heavy Duty Insulating Film is ideal for use as a groundsheet. The 10' x 7' size is ideal for our family's camping needs (2 parents, 3 children under the age of 8) and keeps debris and dirt off of our sleeping pads, bags, and clothing. While it takes a little extra care to avoid punctures by clearing away sharp rocks and protruding sticks before laying it down, it is much more durable than one might expect (much more durable than the flimsy Saran Wrap-like material that people assume it will be if they haven't tried polycryo before) and is also extremely easy to patch with packing tape if a puncture does occur. It weighs about half as much as commercial-grade Tyvek and is much more packable and compressible. In addition, when compared to the polycryo used by many ultralight backpackers (which is typically 0. 75 microns, or even less in some cases. This Duck MAX Strength film is twice as thick as the standard Duck MAX Strength film (which is only 5 mil thick). 5 mil. If I were backpacking alone, I would opt for a thinner film, but with kids, I appreciate the added durability that this double-layered film provides. thickness of the film Furthermore, the cost is very reasonable. Much less expensive than Tyvek in the same size, as well as what some ultralight backpacking stores charge for their "special"/re-purposed items. polycryo that has been branded. This is just as good as any of them, and it's more durable than most due to its double thickness.

Drafty windows were repaired. I live in an older home with no energy-efficient windows and 7-foot-tall windows. As a result, I purchased this item to help combat the dreadful draftiness caused by the cold wind blowing through the windows. This, I must say, made a significant difference right away. The wind was blowing about 30 mph last night and all day today, and the outside temperature was in the 30s. Even with the thermostat set to 70 degrees, the HVAC couldn't keep up with the drafts from the windows, and the house was only 56 degrees when we awoke. br>br>My wife and I quickly installed these on our most drafty north-facing windows, and the HVAC was able to catch up after a few hours, making a significant difference. I'm going to have to go out and get a few more. br>br>The Duck brand double-sided tape that came with it did a fantastic job. I was surprised because it appears to be so small, but it holds up admirably. Suggestion: br>br> The box includes one roll of tape, which is sufficient to cover the entire sheet's perimeter; however, if you intend to cut it for taller windows, you should purchase an additional roll of double-sided tape.

Covers the entire window, plus a little extra on the side; the plastic is visible, but it's simply hidden behind the curtains. It maintains a pleasant temperature in the room. The heat is kept in while the cold air is kept out. Simple to erect- You'll definitely need a hair dryer!.

My photo is a little misleading because the film was so simple to work with that I was able to apply it almost flawlessly. The tape is extremely secure, and the plastic is thick and durable. I usually use 2 inch weather tape to reinforce the edges for extra strength, but this package didn't require it. It's well worth the money- I'm not going to buy anything else.
