If you want to save some pennies and avoid keeping the heating running all evening, then shoppers are praising this affordable hack.
This cheap but effective window sealing tape helps to stop unwanted cold drafts enter your home as it offers an airtight solution for windows.
It's priced at €10.96 on Amazon and is made of high-quality, weather-resistant materials that can withstand extreme temperatures, moisture, and UV exposure.
You apply the tape to clean windows and door frames, alongside the draughty edges and smoothen for a tight seal to prevent air and water infiltration.
More than 9,000 shoppers have tried and tested the window sealing tape, giving it an average rating of 4.3 stars on Amazon.
One wrote in their five star review: "It's cut off 99% of the breeze I was feeling and honestly believe this is going to save me so much money on the heating over the winter.
"The tape is not super thick meaning it's barely noticeable on the window. It was easy to cut and I think there's enough to do at least five medium windows in one package."
Another said: "Very strong and sticky tape. Has already made a difference to the room temperature and there are no more draughts. It took 1.5 rolls to completely surround four very large windows, and it was simple to apply, just need some scissors as this stuff won't tear."
They added: "Would have been 5 stars but after a month use, there are a few tiny corners that have lost adherence. But it's still thermally doing it's job and will be ease to apply a small patch on top."
While a third wrote: "It’s really a good quality tape, easy to apply and works perfectly. Since I’ve added on my bedrooms’s windows I can feel the difference, the room keeps its warm."
Others said, "it is amazing how much warmer the place gets" and "I can feel the difference in the room".
