7. Yes, I retrofitted a historic house with interior lucite type panels.

This house was built in 1884, and original windows had to be maintained to keep the architectural integrity of the house. And it had a LOT of windows, very loose, drafty. I can't remember the name of this product - would have to look it up, but a local man had this business franchise. It was very successful, can hardly be seen at all, even from the inside. The tall many paned, double sashed, windows were covered by a single panel of slightly flexible plastic with it's own narrow frame which snapped into an inconspicuous installed frame on the window sash. Easily removed for cleaning or opening the windows. I highly recommend it. Look in the Old House Journal online - you might find the name of the product.
