NO, the window film you're referring to (I think) is the magnetic cling film that adheres to the glass. (similar to the window tint used on car windows). That is NOT the "storm window" type film that is applied "separate from and about 1" away from the window glass"... The film we are talking about acts as a "storm window", is clear (not tinted) and is applied to the window frame with double sided tape, not placed in contact with the glass. It forms a "dead air space" between the window and the film.

What you're referring to would do nothing to decrease the heat loss through the glass.

Here is one example of what we're discussing: http://www.amazon.com/Frost-King-V73...insulation+kit
