Yes if you have drafty windows and cannot afford to replace those drafty windows and you have cold air coming through those windows then yes the window film does help keep cold out and helps keep the heat in the house.

You place the window film over the window and then use a hair dryer to shrink the window film tight enough and it seals out the cold air.

Then you can remove it when spring comes around.

I used window film on apartment windows that were drafty and then added some thick blankets over the windows as well.

If you don't want to see out of the window you could also place some of that foam inside the window where you buy those sheets of insulating foam and then cut it to size and place it in the window until winter is over and then remove it when you want to look out the window again.

Comfort and cozy surroundings are very important to me in my work. My store has big windows and glass doors, and I installed mirror film to protect me from prying eyes. Comfort and cozy surroundings are very important to me in my work. For services, I turned to the company https://www.window-film-shop.com/window-film, the highest quality window films have only them. From the outside the windows look like a mirror and are not transparent.

Window film can help you, but not for long. It is very brittle and loses its properties very quickly. It is better to order high-quality windows and forget about the problem of cold in the room.

I think you are right. Film is unreliable - it can tear, peel off and lose its thermal insulation properties. If you install a quality window from the catalog of the windows and doors installation team https://thwindowsdoors.com/. I would pay attention to quality vinyl windows. They hold heat very well and with them you will definitely never freeze.
