Product Information

tesamoll® Thermo Cover is a transparent non-adhesive insulation for single-pane windows. It provides an air buffer effect that can replace the 2nd window pane. It is estimated that as much as 30% of energy could be lost through a building’s windows , so improving your premises’ window insulation could effectively help to reduce energy wastage, lower running costs, and maximise savings. Secondary glazing comes in many forms, with frames available in uPVC, aluminium and timber. Systems can be temporary, designed to be taken in and out as needed, or permanent. They can slide open, be permanently fixed or open like a regular casement window. 5. Replace Single Glazing

Read on for shopping considerations when selecting this type of window treatment and to learn why these are among the best window insulation kits available.

How to check window insulation

To apply window film you must first ensure your window is sparkling clean, before measuring it and cutting the film to size. Manufacturer's instructions usually state that you should leave a little allowance in size around the edges. The tape is then applied around the frame ready for the film to adhere to it. Although replacing single glazing with double glazing is not suitable for every type of property (period properties can lose some of their character, for example), it could make a huge difference to how well your home retains heat in the winter. Double glazing can also prevent overheating in the summer. Several window insulation product types are on the market: plastic film, magnetic barriers, and reflective foil insulation.

In terms of heat retention, this can be devastating. Even with the most well-insulated walls, poorly insulated windows will draw warm air out of a building and let the cold air in. After all, they typically make up around 20 percent of walls’ surface area. Problems with window insulationMost window insulation kits work the same way: A sheet of heat-shrink plastic or other insulating material is attached to the window panes with double-sided tape or magnetic strips to add a layer of insulation. The best window insulation kits are easy to install and provide an effective barrier to drafts. Windows that have been treated with insulation cannot usually be opened, meaning these kits are a seasonal solution to drafty windows. Those in the know suggest misting the windows with water before taping bubble wrap (bubble side to glass) to the window. 8. Consider Draught Snakes Low-emissivity (low-E) glazing works by absorbing energy created by heating systems inside the building and is extremely effective at preventing heat loss and lowering energy bills. However, in retrofit situations, fitting new Low-E glazing requires new windows to be installed, meaning disruption and significant costs.
