I'd like to make the old jalousie windows in my kitchen a bit more energy efficient. I'm thinking maybe I could put some kind of clear plastic on the window screen frame, and shrink it smooth with a hair dryer? The screening is on the inside, it's aluminum, and attaches via clips that screw into the window.
- Do you think the effort will be worth it in savings and/or comfort?
- What plastic film would work well?
- What's the best way to attach the plastic to the frame?
And no, i don't want to open Pandora's box by replacing them. That's likely to end with reframing the wall.
