(More customer reviews)Foam + Velcro...not miracle materials...but probably the best one can do to cut down on the heat loss through the fins of a whole house fan during the winter.

Dundas Jafine CHK100ZW Heat Keeper Kit With 2 Clamps Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Venting all that hot dryer air into the basement seems like a good idea, much better than letting all that expensive heat go to waste.
The concept is not without its drawbacks however. The first blast of hot air is laden with moisture, moisture better vented outside even in the winter. I've found the best solution is to vent the first few minutes of the dryer outside before flipping the lever on the dryer vent.
This particular model is a little better than the one I had previously. The round lint trap is easy to pull on and off, an important feature for my wife and me. Installation was fairly easy, but I was disappointed to discover there is no hanger on the back of this vent. To keep the vent in place I wound some heavy wire around two masonry nails on either side of the vent. So far that has kept the vent secure.
Out of the box this vent, like the Ace vent it replaced, was literally coming apart at the seams. I glued the gaps in place before installation though the metal clamps probably would have pulled them together.
The Dundas dryer vent comes with two plastic clamps which I chose not to use. The metal clamps hold more securely and are much easier to remove.
The screen's mesh is not very fine so too much lint escapes into the air. For now I put a piece of stocking over the screen to catch more lint. A four inch duct clamp holds the stocking in place.
So far the vent is doing what it's supposed to do and the lever for controlling air flow is adequate; it keeps the flapper in its intended position. How long the Dundas Jafine solution will hold up to the roughness of wife and daughter remains to be seen.

C P Films, Inc. LES241 Gila Heat Control Insulating Window Film Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used the Gila Platinum film. After reading multiple reviews, I decided to take the advice and perform a few additional steps. First, I rerolled the product in reverse to flatten it out several hours before working with it. I used a long table and a rotary cutter and mat to cut the product. When pulling the backing off to expose the sticky surface,, start at one corner and immediately tape the corner down to the table when the backing is pulled off. Then tape down the adjacent corner. You can then pull the backing straight off and tape the lower corners. The most important thing is to make sure that both the window surface and the sticky surface of the film are very wet. On one piece of film, we didn't wet it enough and it stuck to itself. We had to throw it away. For the rest of the windows we totally soaked the film and the window. This allows the film to slide on the window when you squeegee it making it easier to remove bubbles. When picking up the film from the table, we attached clothespins or clips to the bottom corners to weigh them down so they wouldn't curl. My husband held the top of the film and put it on the window while I guided the bottom part of the film. Once the film was firmly attached to the window and smooth, we used the razor in the kit to cut the edge. I would not try to apply this alone unless you are doing very small windows. We were doing double hung windows that are 30 inches by 60 inches and French doors. The film has made a tremendous difference in our family room which gets the afternoon sun. Our windows are now cool to the touch.

Gila LES361 Heat Control Residential Window Film, Platinum, 36-Inch by 15-Feet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife and I have now installed this film on several windows and two patio doors in our home. In the process, we have messed up a couple of times, but managed to figure out why (see helpful hints below).
I don't know how effective the heat control film is at keeping out the heat. Only time will tell.
But here are three recommendations for "frustration free" installation:
1) ALWAYS have someone helping you. Don't even think about instalilng this without at least two people.
2) Before peeling the film (very sticky) from the liner, spray both sides generously. This helps cut down on the static electricity, which causes the film to curl and stick to itself--often resulting in ruined film and frustrated installers.

3) Gila does not suggest this, but it worked like a charm with us (after we had messed up, unfortunately). Before you peel the liner from the film, have your helper clip two clothespins to the bottom two corners while you hold the top corners (this will prevent the corners from curling and sticking). As your partner begins to peel the liner from the film (slowly!), have him/her spray the sticky side generously. When there is about an inch of liner left to peel, go ahead and apply the film to the window. Before squeegeeing to the window, remove the clothespins and the last inch or two of liner. If you follow this important step, you should not have problems with the film curling. I don't know why Gila does not suggest this. Maybe they have not thought of it yet.
BTW: I just sprayed regular water on the non-sticky side when squeegeeing the film to the window. I also did this when spraying both sides to ward off static electricity. I did use the Gila stuff, however, on the sticky side of the film and on the window.
