My nan used it in her attic... Kept a little bit of noise out but didn't save any heat and created loads of condensation on the windows...
I wouldn't bother with it...

The window (the glass part only) is considered a thermal pane or insulated glass. Typically once the seal has gone the window is junk. The condensation may go away at times but it may leave an ugly cloudy appearance between the layers. There is sometimes an invisible coating or some type of gas inside the two layers so when that seal is compromised almost all the insulating properties go away. Is the window covered under any kind of warranty or did you price out changing the glass only(not the whole entire window from the framing)? Unless you are a serious DIY'er or have a few dedicated friends I wouldn't suggest the following but here goes... Take the glass out, clean and inspect the entire perimeter. Hopefully you can determine where the source of the leak is. If not,(assuming at this time the condensation has dried up) you can sit the entire window in a nice bead of silicone all the way around. This is very inexpensive but VERY ambitious and if done early into the detection of the leak this just may stop the clouding. I wish I had an easy answer for ya but good luck none the less.

hi, i fit double glazing and too many times i have to take down the film you are talking about before installation. if it worked i would not be putting in double glazing. save yourself the time and effort and go straight for the double glazing

no good if you want to open the windows.
how about ventilation? do you have gas appliances? they MUST have fresh air to avoid carbon monoxide build up. (required by law in the U.K. or they will disconnect your gas supply.)
have you tried seperate internal glazing? you used to be able to get a clear rigid plastic secondary glazing system.

It deflects the suns glare and keeps the birds from hurting themselved when they can't see a window.

Yes but it all went horrible wrong. I wouldn't recommend it.
