good for apartment windows??

I have really large windows and the shrink type plastic would not fit, so this was a great option for me. If you have more or less normal size windows and a way to tape the shrink type, I would go with that. This material is nice and thick, but that requires a pretty substantial means of hanging. I made wood strips and nailed it to the outside of my windows. Hope this helps, if not be more specific about the type of window you are wanting to insulate. Be Well.

I would say no ,the inside plastic storm window kits would work better and are a lot cheaper.

I don't think there will be a problem, wet the window per instructions and squeegee out the water as shown, you should get good adhesion to the window. looks nice on sunny days,good luck.

That's a good one. I thought about this too but it hasn't been enough a burden to do anything. I considered paint but that may end up looking bad. You could fasten a decorative curtain across the interior roof or even black plastic or dark window screen. All come in large rolls. Good luck and post what you did!

I did not have any issues wipping these off my windows when I used them. You should be fine!

Yes, just make sure the entire surface is cleaned off really well, I used window cleaner, that seems to work well.

I have used bubble wrap over my in window airconditioners for several years. And also over draftyl windows. It is a good insulator and the the drafts do not get through - Dot

Yes I think they should be ok, these are very soft and shouldn't damage the glass. When I cleaned my windows with Invisible Glass window cleaner, I just used a micro cleaning towel,

No. I also rent a condo with specific rules about windows, even drapes and blinds. My landlord couldn't tell the film was on my windows (and they are large) when I pointed it out. There is a slight and I stress slight gray blue cast to the windows but they are clear, you can tell if my blinds are open or closed. They are not metallic or silvery from either direction.

It is about as good as a regular house window. I don't notice much difference. Make sure it is a tight fit in wall or door, and caulk around outside frame. If possible put in location were pet is not around a lot less chance of door opening more.

Clean the window and the suction cups. Wait until dry then place. Should stick very well after that. I haven't had any problems since.

my windows have metal frames, I used alcohol, didn't really think about it. as long as the surface is clean the velcro should stick.

It depends on the size. Window glass is not necessarily and good keeping in the heat. I use this unit in my garage in between my two work benches - just to take the chill off my feet. Good little unit that my purpose.

I'm not sure. But you can buy this stuff by the roll and it comes in all kinds of widths. But yes you can use it around the windows. It sticks really well as long as you prep the surface before installation. Clean the surface with rubbing alcohol.

Yes, I think you would like them on a window...not too bright but still visable.

Being by an outside wall, particularly towards the broadcast tower, would probably be the best, but the optimum location certainly varies from home to home, depending on their structure and their environment. I am not certain if windows are even pertinent, especially if they are covered with metallic screens, frames, or blinds.

I have used plexiglass (from local home improvement store...sometimes they will give you pieces leftover from a big cut for free) in place of the accordion thing. It is much prettier and gives you light. On one front window, I have even put Glad Press n seal wrap on the plexi to make it look "frosted" for privacy. I just use clear tape to hold it on and keep bugs out from the edges. Neither are very safe from break ins, btw. Just an idea if your accordion is too short or damaged.

the seal on these is pretty basic, but you could buff up the seal with caulk or tape. it definitely isn't as awkward as a window unit.
