Abstract
A shrink-expand fit system for mounting a panel within an existing window frame. The system includes an elongated shrinkable-expandable elastic portion and an elongated groove portion. The groove portion is configurated to securely receive and hold the panel. The shrinkable portion can be sealed to create an airtight space. The shrinkable portion includes a vacuum seal valve and can shrink under vacuum and expand under atmospheric pressure to tightly hold the panel against the window frame.
