Abstract
In an aspect, an insulation kit for insulating an interior side of a window is provided. The window includes a window pane and a window frame having a window aperture in which the window pane is mounted, and at least one surface on the interior side of the window which extends around an exterior edge of the window aperture. The insulation kit includes a adhesive member and a sheet of insulating, biodegradable film sized to be mounted to a surface of the window frame by the adhesive member so as to cover the window aperture, and being heat shrinkable to form an airtight seal, insulating the window pane on the interior side of the window. The sheet of film is constructed to be mounted to the at least one surface of the window frame for a period of at least four months before degradation of the film occurs.

An insulation kit for insulating an interior side of a window of a building, the window including a window pane and a window frame having a window aperture in which the window pane is mounted, and at least one surface on the interior side of the window which extends around an exterior edge of the window aperture, the insulation kit comprising:
- a adhesive member;
- and
- a sheet of insulating, biodegradable, polyolefin film sized to be mounted to the at least one surface of the window frame by the adhesive member so as to cover the window aperture, and being heat shrinkable such that when a stream of heated air is supplied to the sheet of biodegradable, polyolefin film, the biodegradable, polyolefin film contracts to form an airtight seal, insulating the window pane on the interior side of the window,
- wherein the sheet of insulating biodegradable, polyolefin film is constructed to be mounted to the at least one surface of the window frame for a period of at least four months before degradation of the biodegradable, polyolefin film occurs to an extent where the biodegradable, polyolefin film no longer forms an airtight seal which insulates the window pane on the interior side of the window.
An insulation kit for insulating an interior side of a window of a building, the window including a window pane and a window frame having a window aperture in which the window pane is mounted and at least one surface on the interior side of the window which extends around an exterior edge of the window aperture, the insulation kit comprising:
- a adhesive member;
- and
- a sheet of insulating, biodegradable, polyolefin film sized to be mounted to the at least one surface of the window frame by the adhesive member so as to cover the window aperture, and being heat shrinkable such that when a stream of heated air is supplied to the sheet of biodegradable, polyolefin, the biodegradable, polyolefin film will contract to form an airtight seal, insulating the window pane on the interior side of the window;
- wherein the biodegradable, polyolefin is fabricated so as to linearly contract by at least 65% when unrestrained and when the temperature of the heated air supplied to the biodegradable, polyolefin film is at or above 120 degrees Celsius.
