I’m looking for a way to better insulate my windows.
I have blinds, but they don’t seem to help at all. Heater set to 4 and still freezing cold inside the apartment.
Do you know of any window insulation privacy screens? 😀
Thanks for the help!
Regards, f

Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with this either. Have you checked whether the windows might not be sealing properly? Open the window, place a sheet of paper against the frame, and then close the window. If you can pull the paper out easily without resistance, there is room for improvement. The same applies to the front door and interior doors. If there is draft coming through everywhere, a lot of heat is lost. Check the gap between the door leaf and the threshold; in older buildings, there can sometimes be a gap of 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 inches).
