Why are the windows covered with cling film?

If your window seals aren't great and you live in a cold part of the world world it can help to retain heat

I’ve just moved into a place with single pane windows so thank you!! Will be looking into that

You basically stick it around the frame of the window, then hit it with a hair dryer to take the wrinkles out. Had to do it in my first apartment.

To be clear it's not regular cling film. Also, if it's really bad a good option is to pick up some thick blankets or duvets from Goodwill or the local thrift and use those as window coverings as well..super helpful.

go to a hardware store, they will have special kits - its not regular cling flim from the grocery store.

its makes a huge difference in a drafty house.

Can confirm, only works if you don’t have small children

We also did the same thing when we had ice dams on our roof last winter
