I plan on using heavier rigid plastic but was trying to figure out how to get the magnets to work. I like the idea of the double sided magnetic strips (found a link on a previous post), one strip on the window and another opposite strip on the plastic. I had this same idea.

They have kits and just the frames. The Plastic can be the outdoor version which comes in large sizes. Here is the website. I will be using both ideas to meet my needs. I still love your idea with the magnetic paint! http://www.amconservationgroup.com/store/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=206 These are the plastic frames that are reusable.

I have Pella window screens (Alum. frames) FULL size, one piece that are installed outside the windows. I'm going to get vinyl on a roll or use clear table cloth coverings, attach to the screens some how maybe using the magnetic paint and magnetic tape that you suggested. OR find Magnetic tape that uses two pieces. Great idea! I have Pella window screens (Alum. frames) FULL size, one piece that are installed outside the windows.

Before I go through the trouble of doing this, can you tell me if your cat has claws? Mine does, so it makes it impossible to keep any plastic up on windows. How thick is the vinyl? By the look of the finished product, it's still thin enough to see through the window, but will it be thick enough to withstand my cat's claws? Thanks. Hi, your idea is fantastic!

This is a perfect solution for my tiny cottage in Southern California. My old windows have been driving me crazy because the draft is awful but not being able to open windows for months at a time would have been worse!

Having bought my grandmothers house and seeing the heating bills this big old house creates, this idea resurfaced. I'd found the tape but wanted to see if anyone else had this idea othe than me. Your sight is just the thing. You've just encouraged me. Thanks much!!!!
