Poor Man's double pane windows

I assume I could keep this stick-on stuff all year round? Would help in the summer for cooling and winter for heating?

We winter in warmer climates and need it less than spending time in the summer where it's hot. We hate the lack of visibility with Reflectix and would love an alternative for our living room.

I would think the 3M would work year round. Cut down heat gain in the summer, cut down heat loss and reduce window fogging in the winter.

After seeing how well the 3M stuff worked on a coast campout with lots of rain and humidity and cold weather, I went to tap plastics and had them cut plastic to fit each window. they will cut corner radius as well, cost a bit more but saved me a lot of time. Now all the windows that don't open have the acrylic pane installed with a couple of screws on each side.

Part of the reason going to acrylic is with several you grandkids playing around, I figure the 3M stuff wouldn't last to long before the kids ended up puncturing it. However the stuff is quite strong.
