Energy Cinch

 

Can’t afford to replace those old single-paned windows?  Love the beautiful old glass and don’t want to lose it?  Want to further reduce heat loss through double or triple-paned windows?  Beautiful as well as functional, the Energy Cinch insulated window covering is the perfect solution to reducing heat loss without adding layers of glass.

The Energy Cinch consists of two tension rods and a light tan, four-layer Warm Window® insulating fabric that is installed inside the window casing. With the tension rods placed at the top and bottom of the window casing, the fabric will fully cover the window, reducing heat loss by up to 80%. The fabric incorporates metallized Mylar® with insulating polyester fibers, a reflective polyethelyne vapor barrier, high density insulating fibers, and a moisture resistant lining, with a front panel covered with a fabric of your choice.   On a single pane window, with the Energy Cinch properly in-place, the resulting R value of the window can be as high as 7.6.
