12. Insulate windows with bubble wrap
During the coldest months of the year, drafts can become a real problem, making us feel uncomfortable and raising heating costs. However, there is a simple, economical and effective solution to insulate your windows and keep the heat inside: bubble wrap. This lightweight, transparent material acts as an additional thermal barrier when properly applied to windows. The process is simple: first, moisten the windows with water so the plastic adheres better. Then carefully apply the bubble wrap while the windows are still wet, smoothing carefully to avoid wrinkles or trapped air bubbles. Once well adhered, the plastic will create an additional insulating layer, preventing cold air from entering and retaining heat inside your home. This temporary solution will not only keep you warm and cozy during the colder months, but will also help you save on heating costs by reducing heat loss through the windows.
