comments Great product - we noticed the difference
from day one! McComb family, Bowning, NSW ClearComfort
insulation is an incredibly cost-effective alternative. I'm laughing all the way
to the bank and as warm as toast when I get home again.
Dr Doug Cocks, Canberra ACT (Dr Cocks is a
well-known Australian environmental scientist and writer. http://www.labshop.com.au/dougcocks/). ClearComfort
insulation has made my home energy efficient at a fraction the cost of double-glazing. ClearComfort
insulation is great, fun to install, practically invisible, and makes a big difference
to the warmth of my house. Michael
Linke, Melbourne VIC (Michael Linke is past Editor of 'ReNew' magazine published
by the Alternative Technology Association. http://www.ata.org.au/). I've
been impressed with the product for many years and kick myself for not getting
around to installing it in my own house earlier. ClearComfort
insulation has made an instant and appreciable difference, as I knew it would.
Dave Hodgkin, Canberra ACT, Accredited Energy Assessor

mum and I installed five ClearComfort insulation kits over a long weekend, (with
the help of my two and four year olds). Mrs
J. Moreton, Canberra ACT We are
heavily involved in energy efficient and sustainable building design and construction,
and have been a user and supporter of ClearComfort window insulation since it
became available in Australia. Retro-fitting
energy conservation features to existing buildings is an even more important task
for the vast majority of existing buildings that have all been built without any
consideration of this issue. We
have advised, and continue to advise, our clients to use ClearComfort as a suitable,
cost effective alternative to double glazing. The results have been successful,
without any compromise to daylight, solar gain, or appearance, and we continue
to recommend this product. Ric
Butt, Canberra ACT (Ric Butt is an Architect, an Accredited Energy Assessor,
and the director of Strine Homes Pty Ltd.
http://www.strinehomes.com.au/ He has received many awards for his environmentally
sound buildings). We insulated
our walls and put ClearComfort transparent membrane over the windows and our home
now feels very comfortable, even without using our heating.

ACT Heat-shrink plastic film
is very cheap and nearly as good as glass in its thermal performance. I recommend
it. Peter Lyons, Canberra ACT, 1992 Eleven
years on, and still the best value insulation you can buy! Peter
Lyons, Hobart, 2003 (Dr Lyons is a building façade physicist with Ove
Arup Pty Ltd, and former advisor to the Australasian Window Council). Many
thanks - a great product E.

third method is called Clear Comfort, consisting of a thin film of clear plastic
press-fixed with double sided adhesive tape to the rebate in the window frame
and then stretched and shrunk taut by the gentle application of a hair dryer.
The film is virtually invisible, an easy DIY job and at very low cost. If a cost
benefit analysis were worked out I feel sure that Clear Comfort would win hands
down! (Derek Wrigley (www.derekwrigleydesign.id.au) Making
