    This is great! I found that exterior shades also do a fantastic job of reducing direct heat. Who knew those huge farmhouse shade porches our grandparents had would be so effective for modern cooling.

    Hi Ryan, thank you for sharing your installation. I have been watching a few videos since it is now very cold in NYC and need to retain the heat in the cold home. Will certainly apply your technique.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for this video. Im going to make the frames exactly like you did, but intead of the clear plastic, im going to use some type of fabric or vinyl to back out my windows. I work nights and sleep during the day. This will help me get better sleep, and be able to take the inserts out whenever we want light.

      If you also have curtains the insert working together with the curtains should keep things nice and dark. I think this is how the Alaskans role in the summer.

    I’ve done six windows out of 14 so far in my place, it’s really getting cold here, what stopped me was the draft or moisture coming in around some of the frames, the double sided tape would not stick. The way you’ve done yours though, making a separate frame with rubber seals, that’ll work. The blow drying on the plastic makes for really clear windows too. Great product. Thx for your idea - God Bless you and your family.

    Very cool. (punny, huh?)
    After watching a handful of videos on this, I see a couple improvements that could be made.
    -Use foam around the perimeter edge as a seal to have a little more 'give'.
    -Add a layer of plastic on the other side of the frame or create a second frame for each window. (The air cavity between the window and insert is providing insulation. So, multiple barriers about 3/4" apart will compound the temperature difference.)

    So I’m dealing with this in Dallas. My electricity rate doubled, and when you have 2 ac units in a 2 story house, you start scrambling on how to reduce energy in half! I’m in a 1990’s house with single lane windows. And it’s darn near impossible to keep the heat out. The aluminum frames hit well over 110 degrees and the glass just radiates constant heat. My current setup: 1) bolt on solar shades on the exterior of the window. 2) wood blinds 3) added blackout curtains with a Mylar heat reflective backing. Now this definitely helps to keep the heat in, but I have to keep the sides of the curtain sealed to the walls with magnets and I’ve had to build insulated cornices above certain windows to keep the air from escaping at the top. And then we of course lose all of the nice sunlight! The spike in rates is a complete beating and it’s basically a double whammy that forces people who haven’t spent thousands in energy efficiency upgrades to do so, simply to have a manageable electricity bill. Pretty ridiculous..that’s throwing good money after bad. Especially if you don’t plan on living in the residence for a good number of years!

    Tint your windows with car tint. Use white blinds turn them upwards. Also use room darkening drapes. This should really help.
    This is what I've done in my doublewide. As I only have 1 tree in front facing East.
    You may want to use the wide bubble wrap on the glass.

    What we did for a massive window taking full sun in the afternoon was to hang a shade outside, suspended from the rain gutter, about 6" away from the wall. It acted as a heat sink, no more baked wall and window.

    Your problem is two fold, air infiltration and solar gain. If you put shades on the outside the solar gain would be a lot less and hence a lot less heat.

      Acrylic would be more expensive, and if all we are doing is keeping drafts out I wouldn't think it would be any better. It would be better if you are trying to keep noise out.
