Does the job
This is a cut to fit solution to a heat loss problem. Now that it's in place, I don't notice it. The supplied Velcro tape made no sense to me, as you would have part of it permanently attached to the shutter. It would look tacky. I went out and bought two roll of adhesive magnetic tape (less than $3.00 for both), attached the tape to the back of the insulation, and stuck the insulation up to the shutter for a tight, magnetic seal. When summer comes, the insultation goes away with no evidence of its existance.
Glorified art project
Lets set the record straight with what you are actually getting here. In the box will be a roll of foil backed insulation, a roll of electrical tape (white), and a bunch of velcro. What they don't tell you is that this is completely do-it-yourself with items that you can buy much cheaper at home depot. You cut the insulation to size, add the velcro and I guess make pretty edges with the electrical tape!? The product is also must less attractive than it is in the picture. Don't waste your money.
I've never written a prodect review before, but getting this product just made me THAT angry.
Expensive Junk
This product consists of a piece of thin flexible insulating material, adhesive backed velcro and white electrical tape.
Problems:
1. Instructions are three pictures with little more information.
2. Velcro was all crumpled as received and was stronger than the adhesive. When i tried to disengage the velcro both pieces came off and the paint from the ceiling.
3. White electrical tape was horrible... cheap, narrow and it fell off in less than 1 hour.
4. The price is a ripoff.
I am building my own which is easier to use, cheaper, more attractive, and higher r-value. I am surprised Amazon even lists this junk.
