Removable window insulator

Abstract

A window insulator is provided. The window insulator may comprise a plurality of layers, with each layer performing a desired function. A thermal insulation layer may be provided. A reflective layer may be provided and coupled to the thermal insulation layer. The window insulator may also include a surface coupling layer. The surface coupling layer may be coupled to at least one of the reflective layer or the thermal insulation layer.

 a thermal insulation layer;   a reflective layer coupled to the thermal insulation layer; and   a surface coupling layer coupled to at least one of the reflective layer or the thermal insulation layer.   
     
     
         2 . The window insulator of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more adhesive layers coupling the insulation layer to the reflective layer. 
     
     
         3 . The window insulator of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more adhesive layers coupling the reflective layer to the surface coupling layer. 
     
     
         4 . The window insulator of  claim 1 , further comprising a laminate coupling one or more of the layers together. 
     
     
         5 . The window insulator of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more bleed holes formed in the surface coupling layer. 
     
     
         6 . The window insulator of  claim 1 , further comprising a decorative layer coupled to the insulation layer. 
     
     
         7 . A method for insulating an opening using a window insulator, comprising the steps of:
 reducing a thermal conductivity through the opening using a first layer of the window insulator;   reducing a thermal radiation through the opening using a second layer of the window insulator coupled to the first layer of material; and   coupling the first and second layers of the window insulator to the opening.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the step of coupling the first and second layers of the window insulator to the opening comprises using a third layer coupled to at least one of the first or the second layers. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the step of reducing the thermal radiation through the opening using the second layer comprises reflecting the thermal radiation away from the first layer. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the first layer comprises a thermal insulation layer. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising the step of reducing an air flow through the first layer by coupling a fourth layer to the first layer.
