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

We we have a shower with a window in it and every single time we would finish showering. We’d have to dry the window framing to prevent any mold or water damage. It got old after a while sometimes you just don’t feel like doing it every single day and this was a solution that we considered and we are 1000% happy with this product. It saves us time and an added bonus keeps out The cold and hot outside air very well now we have been using this product for well over a month and never have to worry about drying anything because the plastic covers it. Highly recommend watching a YouTube video before installing it on person’s video was excellent that showed a similar product And the trick is to start from the top and work your way down. Let gravity be your friend. Also, make sure to get the plastic as tight as possible on the double sided tape first don’t rely on using the hairdryer to solve all your problems. The hairdryer does work great but if you can get this on the double sided tape Tight enough when you add the hairdryer to it, you won’t even see the plastic because it will be so tight and professional looking. It’s amazing when you’re done and I was shocked that basically anything from more than 5 feet away you can’t even see the plastic around the window. I’ll mention that our window frames are white and this double-sided tape was white too which helps make it look even better. It does work excellent as I said earlier to keep hot air out in the summer and cool air out in the winter it’s definitely water resistant, and when you go to use the hairdryer start from the outside edges and work your way to the center slowly at the end, work all around the four corners in a square pattern and eventually when you come into the middle, you have a beautiful seal. This product is excellent and I highly recommend it if you’re looking to save energy or you have a window in your shower like we did to keep out the water and damnedest from hitting the framing.

We have a rental house built in 1905. The windows are horrible. Drafts everywhere and the glass and frames didn’t settle the same way the rest of the house did. We love the house, we just knew that come winter these windows would kill us on heating costs. There were two of us working on the windows. The tape went down very easy, and separated from the film without ripping. The plastic is a good quality. We left about an inch to an inch and a half extra on all sides. The instal video was super handy by the way. Lots of good tips in it. We made sure to keep it taut, and worked from the top down. When we finished hanging the plastic and used the hair dryer on it, the plastic became very clear and smooth. It’s not 100% translucent, but just looks like another piece of glass over the window. We’ve already noticed a change in how particular rooms are holding heat better. I’m so happy we went with Duck over 3M. All of the woes we read about dealing with their product we didn’t deal with using Duck Brand. We are thoroughly impressed.

I bought the large size to do three windows. Two small and one 46 x 46. I had a little trouble getting the hang of attaching the plastic to the tape. It says not to remove the tape cover until all tape is installed. But, that is hard to do when you have to very carefully separate the tape cover from the tape. You have to start the corner, otherwise there is no way to get a hold of it. I ended up having to start a corner and then leave it so I could attach all the tape and then when I removed it all the plastic started sticking all over. I learned a trick by the second window, which was to only remove the tape cover on the part you were trying to stick the plastic too and once that is stuck then remove another section and so on. That way as you are working down the sides and bottom you don't have the plastic randomly sticking and making a big mess. The second window turned out good, but the first was a mess. When I moved on to the third window I ran out of tape. I have some double side 3 M Scotch poster tape which appears to be the same type of tape so I will use that if I have to. In the meantime I ordered another kit for the tape and then realized you can just order the tape alone for about two dollars.

This Duck MAX Strength Heavy Duty Insulating Film makes a superb ultralight groundsheet. The 10' x 7' size is about perfect for our family camping needs (2 parents, plus 3 kids under age 8) and helps to keep debris and dirt off of our sleeping pads, bags, and clothing. While it takes a little care to avoid punctures by clearing away sharp rocks and protruding sticks before you lay it down, it is more durable than one would think (much, MUCH more durable than the flimsy Saran Wrap like material people tend to think it will be if they haven't tried polycryo before) and also, it is extremely easy to patch with packing tape if a puncture does occur. Compared with the typical commercial grade Tyvek, it is about half the weight and also quite a bit more packable/compressible. Also, compared with the polycryo that many ultralight backpackers use (which is usually 0.75 mil or sometimes even 0.5 mil thick), this Duck MAX Strength film is twice as thick, at 1.5 mil. If I were backpacking alone, I might choose a thinner film, but with kids, I like the added durability that this double-thickness film provides. And the price is great--much cheaper than Tyvek in the equivalent size and also cheaper than what some ultralight backpacking stores charge for their "special"/re-branded versions of polycryo. This is just as good as any of them, and given its double thickness, more durable than most.
