It depends on taste as well. If you can do the job yourself (and I did it many times) it is an excellent way to add substantial value to your property and enjoy something good while using it. I did bathroom floor to ceiling but left the floor as I have original hardwood floorboards. I think it is beautiful and so many others say. In the kitchen I did a partial floor to ceiling in the wet and hot areas. Tiles are fantastic insulators. So in my view tiles are the ultimate answer. Some people don't want to go that way. To me it make aesthetic and economic sense.
awesome video! It is easy I have used it in Georgia, But here in Florida, no one knows what you are talking about! So where can I buy it? I live in the 32413 zip code. ANY HELP WOULD BE SO NICE. THANK YOU

Can I help you by laying some wood?
Wow, these people make it look so easy, but most of those kits are a total pain in the ass. The tape won’t peel off just right, it’s too narrow, and the plastic is so thin that it bunches up. One of the worst parts about winter, right here!!
It depends on what type of improvements that you made. If it was just doing some painting, fixing walls etc. you do not need a permit. You probably would need permits for doing major electrical work, plumbing etc. so that they can send someone to your house to inspect it, making sure it is up to code. Each town, village,or city has there own way of dealing with permits. Just more or less a racket, just so they can get there money, and saying they inspected it. If you know somebody, and they know you know what you are doing, sometimes they won't even inspect the work. They are happy to take your money though. It will have to be inspected though if you do not have any connections, to make sure that the work is safe, and will not cause a fire etc..Good Luck..

Thank you for this demo!
So you have to buy a new kit each winter….at $20 per window? How about a reusable kit that may cost a bit more but can be used season after season. I wouldn’t think you will save $20 from one window over one heating season.
No, it’s not much good against substantial outside noises, sorry.
You’re right! If people go this far, it’s usually more about comfort than about utility savings. Reusable kits can also do the trick, but they need storage, which a lot of city dwellers here don’t have.
