ABSTRACT:
The covering for a window has a pair of base and top or cap frame strips having complementary shaped engaging surfaces including longitudinally extending ribs and grooves, and where the base frame strip is adapted to be secured to a window frame casing or wall surface and such strip has a series of sharp pointed devices carried thereby and extending upwardly therefrom less than the thickness of the top frame strip so that a plastic sheet can be impaled on the sharp pointed devices and means secure the frame strips together and to the window frame in such a manner that the plastic sheet is in sealed engagement with and between the frame strips. The invention also includes the positioning of two plastic sheets over the window by use of an intermediate frame strip positioned between the top and base frame strips and the method of attaching the plastic sheets to the frame strip means which includes attaching one marginal edge of a plastic sheet onto one frame member by being impaled onto sharp devices thereon and then to be attached to the other frame members by grasping the plastic sheet and pulling it downwardly it is simultaneously tensioned laterally and is impaled onto the sharp devices on the other frame members. The sheet next is secured to such frame members or strips by cap strips to seal the plastic sheet in engagement with the frame strips under tension and form a substantially airtight cover over the window frame.
