Every year I say I'm going to cover the windows and every year I don't. This year however I looked on Amazon and found the right product for the right price. I even got the nine pack which worked out well because I turned one sheet sideways and used it to cover two smaller kitchen windows.

I followed the directions and cleaned the surface once with cleaner and when I was ready to apply the tape I cleaned again with Alcohol. The first one was a little crooked (but still worked) but by the time I got to #4 it was smooth sailing.

I can feel them move slightly in the breeze so I know that they are keeping the cold out. I would definitely recommend this product.

ps I'm a not so young lady and I did it all by myself.

I bought the nine pack and actually got 10 windows in my house. This has 9 separate sheets 42" by 62". There is more than ample tape, which sticks really well, even on the old window cills that I have. Shrinks up nicely, hopefully the tape will last through the dryest of the dry part of the winter. Got the nine pack on sale at a big improvement chain store for around 11 bucks, great buy. hope they work well for you too. Best of the 3 brands I have used over the years for indoor kits.

This product doesn't have strong enough adhesive tape, the film easily comes off of the tape as well as the tape easily comes off of your window frame. Buy the 3M, its an excellent and superior product. I have used both Frost King and 3M and will never buy another Frost King product again. We noticed a difference in our bedroom after covering our poorly insulated windows with the 3M kit, worth every Penny.

Frost King Kit

PRO: None

Cons: Tape doesn't have enough adhesive. Film is thinner, cheaper. Easily comes loose!!!

The title says it all. The product that is designed to make a COLD and drafty window warmer doesn't stick to cold window sills. This product is JUNK.

I applied the Frost King wrap meticulously and carefully and within days the tape came loose (even though I'd applied it with much pressure)! I ended up having to redo all the windows using thick double-sided mounting tape from the dollar store. In all, this doubled my cost of the shrink film! I used the 3M product in another abode and though it cost more, its performance was superior! I'll be writing to Frost to complain, then hereafter using only 3M.

so it may not seem like a big deal to the company that the sheets are only 59" long instead of 62" but it is a big deal when you are trying to cover 58" windows. grrrr. what a waste of my time that I have to return this product and reassemble my blinds.

The two-sided tape is absolute junk. It doesn't stick to much of anything. I had to run painter's tape/masking tap along the entire perimeter of the plastic. I should have gone with the 3M pack.

overall decent product, it shrinks well to look clear when you use the hairdryer...BUT WHY DOES THE TAPE NOT STICK? you dont notice till a few hours or days later, but the tape didnt hold for me. so you get it all done, looks good, and then later the whole thing needs to be redone. i ended up using another layer of tape to secure the plastic.

I found that the tape works just fine if you use a blow dryer after you have the tape and plastic in place. Getting them in place is a pain though and made for more frustration than I wanted to deal with. I am using what I have left over of the product from last season but will never buy it again. Removing the tape pulled up the paint beneath it so now having to fix that will use even more of my time and money having to buy paint.

I'm just going to throw one more negative review out there. Just like everyone is saying, I bought this and the tape does not stick to the plastic in the box. The tape sticks just fine to my window frame, but not to the plastic that comes with it. Total garbage. It fell down in less then 1 hour. DO NOT BUY THIS.
