plastic window sheeting aginst winter cold
This product creates a tight thin clear plastic protection over leaky windows that let in winter wind. I have used this product for almost a decade. I put it on in the fall and remove in the spring. I can often reuse the plastic the following year. After tightening up the plastic with a hair dryer, it is truly clear.

Imagine how much heat is lost through the small cracks and crevices in the door and window frames around the house. On top of that there is the cold air that is exchanged for that heat! During the cold winter months it is a good idea to insulate the doors and windows to cut down on your heating bill and eliminate extra drafts.

Review by Joe Reynolds
I have been a woodworker for over 25 years. This 3-M face mask is very versitle, and depending on the cartridge that you buy, will filter out any harmful particulants. I use the cartridge designed for dust. I've tried several masks over the years, and the 3-M mask is also the most comfortable I've used to date. If you are a woodworker, painter, or hazzardous material handler, this is the ...

Excellent!
I have been using this filter for years and its fantastic. It performs just like the manufacturer says. Its a must have if you do vacuming,or work in a dusty enviroment like yard work; especially if you are Asthmatic or sensitive to dust and other irritants like dust mites,dander, mold, pollen etc.

An excellent basic respirator
This respirator is better because of the one-way ventilation valve in the front, which keeps your exhalations from coming out and fogging up your glasses. Also, the elastic is much more durable than the really cheap masks.

Little more pricy, but works well.
This is a very good window sealing kit for the indoors. I used this brand last year, paid a slight bit more, but the 3-m tape is so much better than others (except for maybe frost kings indoor kits). This is a single sheet of plastic to cut, can be a hassel, but with my smaller bay window area, it covered the 3 smaller windows instead of 2 standard windows for me. Lasted all winter. In ...

Great Winterizing option
Excellent product. Made a big difference in my drafty apartment! Easy to install as well - though I recommend tag-teaming the project with someone. Goes much faster that way.

Exterior window film works great, lasts forever
Using window film on the outside of your house rather than the inside helps protect your windows. The outdoor film from 3M lasts forever (I have three-year-old film on one window) and works great. Especially good for windows that you aren't going to open in the summertime anyway.

Great product
We use these because the air quality in our area is not great. Combine that along with normal indoor air polution and it really helps to have such a good filter cleaning our air. It's worth the larger price if you have any kind of allergies or sinus issues at all! Additionally, we have a small child, so I like to make his air as clean as possible!

work just fine
Purchased these and have been using them for about five months now. No problems. They fit the opening properly and appear to be catching everything. Don't know how much more you can say about a dust filter. ;)

More pricey, but better tape pays off
I bought this brand last year, got them on sale so it was a little more competative to other brands (like frost king). Let me tell you, it's all about the tape. My older house has very touch paint to stick to, and this handeled all but one window reasonably well, needed minor re-tapes throughout the season. Worth the extra money if you want minimal hassel. Again, the multiple kit is one big ...

Try the Advanced Allergen filter if you have allergies or pets
My house uses forced air for heating. The disadvantage of such a system is that it distributes the dust in the air everywhere in the house. However, it is supposed to be possible to filter out the dust. Over the years, I have steadily increased the quality of the filter that I use for my forced air heating system. However, until now I have not noticed any obvious difference in my allergic ...

I had no idea how much cold air comes in through windows!
Desperate to try and save a few bucks on my electric bill I thought I should at least give this product a try. I had no problem hanging the plastic. The double sided tape and plastic were very forgiving. My first window looks as good as the last one. You can barely tell it is there. I tried it out in one room at first to see how well it does. It works! I did the rest of my house after that. Well, ...
