It's nobody's favorite, but plastic film can be a good short-term
solution to poor performing windows - especially traditional storm
windows. Installed on the outside, it helps reduce air infiltration. The
negative side of this is that it may frost over, reducing visibility and
creating moisture problems. If placed on the inside, it can help stop
heat through leaky windows. The other side of this is that the glue can damage stain or paint once removed.

I've been using plastic "shrink wrap" for a number of years. it makes a definite difference, and I've never had a problem with it..The kits can be purchased at k-mart, home depot, walmart, etc. I buy a box of three and it comes with plenty of tape. Also can get the "extra large" size , and one for sliding glass doors.. If you take your time, they are invisible, once you have blow dried them..

Around here we can find the window film at Walmart (where the fans & air conditioners used to be), Lowes or Home Depot. It is seasonal so that's why you might've had a hard time finding it up til now.
