At first, people might find it strange to put bubble wrap on windows, but once they see the results, they’ll want to do it too! This simple trick is a cheap and effective way to insulate windows, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer—while saving money on energy bills.
Why Bubble Wrap Works on Windows
✅ Adds Insulation – The air pockets in bubble wrap trap heat, reducing heat loss in winter and keeping cool air inside in summer.
✅ Lowers Energy Bills – Keeps rooms warm without using extra heating, reducing heating costs.
✅ Easy to Apply & Remove – No glue or permanent fixtures needed—just water!
✅ Lets in Light – Unlike thick curtains or blinds, bubble wrap still allows natural light to enter.
✅ Blocks Drafts & Condensation – Prevents cold air from seeping in and reduces window fogging.
