    i have googled everything and can't find anywhere that sells window insulation film, the type you shrink with a hairdryer. all i find is English websites, either ebay or amazon, and they are all out of stock. surely there is an irish store somewhere that sells it?
    help! thanks.

    I saw that stuff in either Atlantic Homecare or Homebase last week in Limerick. I was in both places the same day but im fairly sure it was in Altantic Homecare.

    I remember seeing it cause I hadnt seen it before so i had a look at the back of the box to see exactly what it was.

    Saw the stuff today in Woodies and it is made by an Irish company based in Dundalk.

    I've attached a pic I took with my phone. Think each pack was priced at about €12 and there is a 20% sale on at the moment.

    Hope this helps

    The film used is Polyolefin which is used in the main in the packaging industry, it has been adopted by firms to use as window shrink film and sold in packs with double sided tape. The mark-up these firms charge is massive, I purchase it on massive rolls for less than 10c per sq.mtr yet they charge €10-12 for 5 sq.mtrs.

    I've sold loads of it on ebay simply together with double sided tape, most of my orders are from the UK so even with postage it works out cheaper for them.
