Top PickIndoor Window Insulator Kit (5 windows)
Rating breakdown
What we love: Personally I use these kits a lot in the winter because I hate being uncomfortably cold. It works really well in keeping the cold air out; however, do not mess with it too much because the film will become loose and will not work as well. Other than that, I really recommend, especially for older homes/
“Shrink-film seals leaky windows completely for the season — works on smoke as well as drafts. (Provisional smoke-kit rating.)”
Kennedy · PollutionProfile reviewer
Customers say: Customers report that the window insulator kit completely stops drafts in living rooms and effectively keeps cold air out of bedrooms, garage, and fireplaces. Moreover, the product makes a noticeable difference in temperature, allowing warmth from south-facing windows. However, the adhesiveness and durability receive negative feedback, with customers reporting that the paper backing doesn't come off and the product partially tears off during installation. Additionally, the tape quality is poor, and customers find the kit unusable. The value for money is mixed, with some finding it worth the price while others disagree.
Holikme
Door Draft Stopper (41-inch)
Rating breakdown
What we love: During the colder months, cold air easily gets in through the open spaces of the doorways. This is perfect in aiding to preventing that cold air from getting in. It also comes with different color, which I love because you can still keep the aesthetics of your home.
“Blocks the under-door gap, one of the largest single leak paths in most homes. (Provisional smoke-kit rating.)”
Kennedy · PollutionProfile reviewer
Customers say: Customers find the weather stripping effective at stopping drafts and easy to install with its self-adhesive back. The product receives positive feedback for its quality and value, though opinions on durability are mixed - while some say it holds up well, others report it peeling off within a day. The adhesion and noise cancellation aspects also receive mixed reviews, with some customers reporting good adhesion while others say it doesn't stick, and while some appreciate the noise reduction, others find it inadequate.
ScotchBlue
Original Painter's Tape
Rating breakdown
What we love: I am a messy painter, even though I try not to be. This is perfect with making my lines crisp, and even helping to mark the transitions in color when I am painting walls. Especially near outlets, this painters tape helps you stay neat while painting.
“Temporary seal for window edges and attic hatches during acute events; removes cleanly. (Provisional smoke-kit rating.)”
Kennedy · PollutionProfile reviewer
Customers say: Customers find this painters tape to be of good quality, with strong adhesion that doesn't leave residue, and consider it good value for money, particularly noting it's cheaper than impact tape. They appreciate its suitability for painting, nice width, and usefulness for various projects. Regarding durability and residue-free performance, experiences are mixed - while some say it holds up well and doesn't leave marks, others report it rips apart during removal and pulls paint off surfaces.
