The Bubble Wrap Trick to Reduce Cold Infiltration: Simple Ways to Keep the Chill Out

Press the bubble side of the wrap directly onto the damp window. It will stick on its own and stay in place for weeks, thanks to the water adhesion.

Seal the Edges (Optional):

For extra insulation, you can tape the edges with clear tape or use removable caulk or weather stripping.

Benefits of the Bubble Wrap Trick:
Reduces heat loss by adding a layer of insulation.

Increases energy efficiency by keeping warm air in and cold air out.

Allows natural light to still enter through the windows.

Reusable and removable — simply peel it off in spring and store for next season.

Other Ways to Prevent Cold from Entering Through Windows:
1. Weather Stripping
Apply foam or rubber weather stripping around the window frames to seal gaps and prevent drafts.

2. Thermal Curtains
Use insulated or blackout curtains to add a layer of protection against cold air, especially at night.

3. Window Insulation Kits
These clear plastic film kits shrink tightly over the window when applied with a hairdryer, creating a nearly invisible barrier.

4. Draft Stoppers
Place fabric draft snakes or sealant strips along the bottom edge of windowsills.

5. Caulking
