Non Toxic Plastic to Cover Windows?

by | Nov 28, 2011 | Q & A | 0 comments

Question from thedavisfamily

Hi Debra,

I recently bought a home built in 1976 with original windows. Now that winter is approaching (I’m in Maryland), I’m seeing just how inadequate the window seals are. Not only is the cold air coming through the edges, but the smell of burning wood from fireplaces nearby is coming in, too. I cannot afford new windows right now. Is there such thing as a safe plastic I can use to put over any of my windows? The one my dad recommended literally stinks.

Thanks in advance!

~Melissa

Debra’s Answer

Yes. Polyethylene or polypropylene.
