T&T: cold, sweaty windows

[JHWardJr at aol.com]

Arild - you provide a segue for this tidbit:
 
A fellow liveaboard waxed poetic about using a home-based 'window  insulation 
kit'.  This is the kind that tapes clear plastic to the inside  of a window 
frame and provides dead air like a double glazed window.  The  process uses a 
hair dryer to shrink the wrinkles.
 
It is an amazingly effective and optically clear treatment.   For under $10 
you can do an entire salon.  Air blowing in through door  cracks and elsewhere 
are more critical, but if a cold window is the problem,  this is amazing 
stuff.  I was contemplating insulating Roman shades and/or  panels, but they kill 
any solar heat you might derive from Southern-facing  windows.  It also 
dramatically reduces condensation on the inside of cold  windows (evidence of it's 
effectiveness).
 
Wish I had the patent!
 
FWIW.  Jim

Invariably it seems the worst heat loss spots (single glazed windows)  are
located above the place (bunk or couch) you want to get  warm.
