Product Information

Full details

The SPARES2GO Window Seal Kit (05-VCH-2620) is designed for homeowners and renters who use portable mobile air conditioners or dehumidifiers and need to improve cooling efficiency. By creating an airtight barrier, it effectively prevents warm outside air from being sucked back into the room through the window opening. While it provides excellent insulation and versatility for various window types, users should be aware that it requires a clean, dry surface for the adhesive to bond properly, making it less ideal for windows with heavy buildup or textured frames.

FAQs

Will this seal work on sliding windows?

Yes, the kit is designed to be versatile and can work on most standard window types including sliding, bottom-hung, and skylights.

Can I still close the window with the seal installed?

Yes, the fabric seal is flexible, but you may need to tuck the excess fabric neatly into the window frame before fully closing and locking the window.

What is the maximum window perimeter this kit supports?

The seal is designed for window perimeters up to 300cm.

Is the vent hose included in the kit compatible with all portable AC units?

The included hose is 150mm in diameter, which is the standard size for most portable air conditioning units.

Does the adhesive damage window frames?

The adhesive is designed for use on UPVC, wood, and metal, but it is recommended to test a small, inconspicuous area first if you are concerned about residue.

Can the fabric seal be washed?

It is recommended to wipe the seal down with a damp cloth rather than machine washing, as the adhesive properties may be affected if the fabric is saturated.

Troubleshooting

The adhesive tape is peeling off the frame.

The surface was likely not cleaned well enough before application. Remove the tape, clean the frame thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol, and apply new adhesive tape.

The air conditioner hose keeps slipping out of the seal.

Ensure the zipper is zipped as close to the hose as possible. You can use a small cable tie or duct tape to secure the hose end if extra tension is required.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, start by cleaning the window frame and the edge of the window thoroughly with rubbing alcohol or a mild degreaser; any dust or grease will weaken the adhesive tape over time.

  1. Measure your window perimeter to ensure it does not exceed 300cm.
  2. Apply the self-adhesive hook tape to the clean window frame.
  3. Apply the corresponding side of the tape to the window itself.
  4. Attach the fabric seal to the hook tape, ensuring the zipper opening is positioned where you want your exhaust hose to pass through.
  5. Use the zipper to tighten the seal around the hose once inserted.

For maintenance, the fabric seal can typically be wiped down with a damp cloth if it collects dust. Always ensure the adhesive has cured for at least 24 hours before applying tension to the seal.
