AT least for the bedrooms! It's the no tape, no sticky tac, no coming loose...if it goes on with just water, I think I am in love. NOthing for a certain little white cat to try to squeeze between or poke at. I dont' think the bubble wrap would have the same appeal. I just thought if it works this is awesome. I have a lot of bubble wrap thanks to my son. I do not have a lot of sheet plastic, and I just hate the kind that is opaque and thick, and the thin doens't last up to my window viewers who can see through it so this seems like a win win. I do know i have to cut some cost around here as much as I possibly can. This is a place to start.
