Im trying to get hold of some bulk bubblewrap in order to either line the curtains or stick it diresctly on the window

I'm trying to get hold of some bulk bubblewrap and wonder where sells it the most cheapest in the uk, any builders merchants or is the internet cheaper? Anyway i'm doing this in order to either line the curtains or stick it directly on the window in order to insulate and save money and gain warmth. O some internet sites they say get Aluminium bubblewrap? Sounds expensive and does it really matter? Could you not just use normal bubblewrap or maybe even glue on foil? Have any of you out there done anything like this as I'd like some pointers if possible, also which bubblewrap size is the most effective, some websites say use large which has bigger bubbles but larger gaps inbetween the bubbles or the smaller which has smaller bubbles and no gaps?
Thanks in advance.

I've also posted this question on several other q sites and get conflicting answers and was advised by a friend that this sites answers had experts in every field and had reliable answers.

Range of sizes available on Amazon,

Also garden centres will sell it for insulating greenhouses. Gardening sites seem to recommend using large bubble stuff for best insulation.

The Aluminium bubblewrap is this stuff

Which although it would undoubtedly offer better insulation than normal bubblewrap it would totally block all light if you put it on a window.

I'm having a senior moment and can't remember the name of the stuff, but you can buy a product (from hardware stores) that is a bit like a thick, clear clingfilm you put over your windows to insulate them. You seal it in place with a hairdrier.
It is unobtrusive and will look a lot better than bubblewrap

Thank you I didn't think of that chickfickens.
mrsoverall I'll also be looking into that so thank you very much.

I recently bought some bubble wrap from a garden centre. I have also seen it at a hardware shop. In both places, it was on a roll that was about 5 feet wide. Can't remember how much per metre it cost. I asked, at the garden centre, about the difference in bubble size and the young woman just shrugged her shoulders, so I didn't get to know why there are large bubbles and small ones.

post offices often sell it...or large office suppliers like viking direct

i've seen it in staples, but it must be cheaper somewhere else, a DIY store would def sell it in bigger sections so I would try there personally.

This looks like the kind of stuff that Mrs Overall has forgotten.

It's called Warmseal. Never used it myself, mind.
