Just repainted my casement windows and found that one was warped and letting in dust. EMV Slim Line Seal was such an easy solution, especially after viewing the video.
Hi Allan,
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our EMV Slim Line Seals! We're glad to hear that our product was a quick and easy solution for your warped window. We appreciate your support and hope that you continue to enjoy the benefits of our product. Thank you for choosing ecoMaster!
I live in a californian bungalow where the previous owner had shaved down a side of the door (versus tightening screws in hinges). When the door was fixed, there was some obvious gaps. The draft door kit has worked well. I installed the draft stopper and sides myself after watching the videos several times. Maybe not the tidiest finish where the edges come together, but think due to 'installer' error versus anything wrong with the product. Has been very effective and would recommend.
Hi Kate,
Thank you for your review of our External Door Draught Proofing Kit. We are glad to hear that it has effectively solved the draft issue in your californian bungalow. We understand that installing the product may not have been the easiest task, but we appreciate your effort in watching the instructional videos beforehand. Happy to know that they were helpful.
Thank you for recommending our product and we hope to serve you again in the future.
great stapler could not have done without it
Hi Rose,
We're glad to hear that our trade quality stapler was a helpful tool for you, appreciate your business Have a great day!
As a home energy assessor, I'm always evaluating products to recommend to our clients in their home. so I was keen to give Renshade a go. I installed it to the inside of our West facing laundry sliding glass doors, as these are a huge heat sink in this area of the house. Checking with a thermal camera showed a massive 10deg difference on 40g day! Love the way its removable too - great option for renters.
Hi Dan,
Thank you for leaving such a positive review of our Renshade Reflective Foil. We are thrilled to hear that it has made such a significant difference in the temperature of your home. As you mentioned, the 10-degree difference on a 40-degree day is truly impressive and a huge benefit for any homeowner. We are glad to know that you appreciate the removable feature, making it a great option for renters as well.
Thank you for choosing Renshade and for being a loyal customer.
Neatly solved the problem of an oven-like laundry, thank you! Still getting used to seeing my reflection in it though. 😊
Hi HB,
Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that we've helped with the heat in your laundry. Glad we made a difference for you! 😊
These beauties spring out of the bag and expand to their full loft. Easy to throw around inside the roof and easy to cut and tear at right angles ( I found best way was to start the cut with a sharp machete like using a bread knife giving two corners to grab hold of for the tearing motion)
Great to work with due to non-allergenic quality.
Hi Brendan,
appreciate you taking the time to review our Polymax Polyester Roof and Ceiling Insulation Batts! We're thrilled to hear that you found them easy to work with and appreciate the non-allergenic quality. Thank you for sharing your tip on cutting and tearing at right angles. We hope our product continues to meet your expectations. Thank you for choosing Polymax and ecoMaster!
Thee Velcro tabs keep melting off the glass on hot days when you need renshade the most. Very frustrating.
Hi Stephanie,
The adhesive on the Velcro dots is made to cope with high temperatures, but it does work best when the surface is carefully prepared and the dots are applied to the right area. Even when frames look clean, they can still carry a very light, invisible residue from cleaning products, polish, silicone, dust, or skin oils, which can affect how well the adhesive bonds.
That’s why we mention this on our website — it really does make a difference. For the most reliable, long-lasting hold, we recommend giving the surface a quick wipe with isopropyl alcohol and then pressing the dots firmly into place. If those steps are missed, the adhesive may not fully bond and the dots can sometimes come away over time.
This product was referred to me by a neighbour and so I gave it a try. It does work in reflecting heat and it does let some light through. It was reasonably easy to install. I honestly think it is overpriced for basically 5 metres of perforated aluminium foil. I will look for a more permanent alternative.
Hi Iain,
Thanks for the feedback — we’re glad to hear it does what it’s meant to do by reflecting heat while still letting light through, and that you found it fairly easy to install.
We get that at first glance it can look like “just perforated foil”, but Renshade is actually purpose-designed and engineered for performance. When used correctly, it can reduce solar heat gain by up to 71%, cut glare and light by up to 89%, and may help reduce cooling load by up to 31%, depending on how and where it’s installed.
On pricing, we understand the comparison. Renshade is a simple, removable solution that reflects heat and lets light through, and it’s priced at $144.
By comparison, true external shading options like awnings, pergola blinds, shutters, or custom shade systems often cost thousands. For many homes they’re also not practical due to body corporate rules, heritage restrictions, rentals, access issues, or the need for custom-made solutions.
If you’re interested, this article goes through different external shading options:

I am not impressed with the quality of the Velcro Tabs. They lasted all of about 2 weeks before they peeled off the window frames. The frames were cleaned before putting up and we tried removing and refitting the Renshade during installation and they worked fine. Two weeks later they are all peeling off.
Hi Iain,
Thanks so much for taking the time to let us know — we’re genuinely sorry this has been your experience. If the Velcro tabs are peeling off after only two weeks, we understand how frustrating that would be, and it’s certainly not the result we want for you.
In most cases, this comes down to surface preparation rather than heat tolerance. While the adhesive on the Velcro tabs is designed to handle high temperatures, it is very sensitive to the condition of the surface it’s applied to. Even when glass appears clean, it can still have an invisible residue from cleaners, polish, silicone, or dust, which can prevent the adhesive from bonding properly.
This is why we note on our website that proper preparation makes a big difference. For best results, the surface should be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol before firmly pressing the tabs into place. If this step is missed, the adhesive can unfortunately fail and the tabs may come away.
To help us recommend the best solution straight away, could you please let us know:
Whether the tabs were installed on glass or on the window frame (painted timber, aluminium, or uPVC), and
Whether isopropyl alcohol was used for the final clean before installation.
In the meantime, we’re more than happy to help you get back to a secure setup — whether that’s sending replacement tabs or suggesting an alternative mounting option better suited to your window type and conditions.
I have an old house that does not have a current, standard size front door or s/s security door. Until I found this 50cm brush seal I was couldn't leave my front door open when I wanted fresh air, or just to see what's going on. There was a gap on the steel security door big enough for leaves to blow in on windy days.
I tried other products without effect. I am very satisfied with the brush seal. It was easy to fix to the door, is sturdy and has been completely effective.
Highly recommended.
Hi Susan,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really glad to hear the RP57 brush seal was the perfect solution for your door and that it’s made such a difference, especially with keeping the leaves out while still letting the fresh air in.
Great to know it was easy to install and has been completely effective for you. We here at ecoMaster, truly appreciate the recommendation and your support!
Such a simple device to install but has made a huge difference to the temperature in our bathrooms and house.
Hi David,
Thanks for your review! We love hearing how the DraftStoppa has made a noticeable difference in your home and bathrooms temperature. Thank you for choosing ecoMaster.
Material difficult to cut straight The dots tear the material if removing the insulation
It did not seem to lower the room temperature
Hi Laurence,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the product didn’t meet your expectations. Renshade is designed to be a non-permanent but durable solution that creates a radiant barrier to help stop solar heat from entering the room, which is where the temperature reduction comes from.
As shown in our installation video, following the guide holes in the sheet can help achieve a straight, clean cut. Results can vary depending on installation and conditions, and we’d be happy to look over photos or a short video of your setup to help troubleshoot.
Please feel free to contact us or call our friendly sales team on 1300 326 627 — we’re always happy to help.
A+ for sure
Hi Alex,
Thank you so much for your kind feedback — we’re really glad to hear you’re happy with both the RP16 and our service. We truly appreciate your support and the A+ rating!
So far every other Ecomaster product has been great, 5 out of 5 stars.
However, the renshade concept is good but the execution not so much. The glue on the Velcro circles used to fix it to the windows or window frames is very poor. They seem to come unstuck at high heat (like 42 degC today) which kind of defeats its purpose. I’ve tried alternative heavy duty tapes but they come unstuck in the heat too. There’s probably one out there that works, but the fact the standard Velcro circles that come with it don’t work is annoying, especially since it cost $134 for a 5m roll.
The actual material itself as sort of a very thin cardboard also isn’t the best. It tears after taking it on and off several times and easily becomes stuck in the sliding windows when corners peel off. It’s rapidly degrading after a month or so of use.
I think I’ll try a few $10 car windshield reflectors. They may be uglier and not be a perfect fit, but Renshade isn’t exactly pretty either and was difficult to work with to get perfectly measured anyway. Hoping with air suction the car windshield reflectors stay up a bit longer than the peeling glue on 50deg windows.
Maybe a different material a better way to stick them up? I guess the cardboard is easily recyclable with those better environmental credentials than plastic everything.
I’m really just delaying a $2500 purchase of adjustable awnings or $3500 security blinds and may just have to bite the bullet on those. Or May need to move below 40deg south (preferably 45deg) latitude.
These Saudi/PetroChina/Exxon sponsored heat waves are killer.
Hi Lachlan,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We really do appreciate your ongoing support of Ecomaster products.
We’re sorry to hear that Renshade hasn’t held up as expected in your conditions. The Velcro dots supplied are Velcro brand and are rated to withstand temperatures of up to 65°C. That said, when glass and window frames are exposed to extreme heat for extended periods, it can still affect the performance of most adhesive products. We understand how frustrating that would be.
Renshade was developed as a lightweight, recyclable option rather than a permanent, fixed solution. When installed and in use, the material performs very well for its intended purpose of reducing heat and glare. This design choice prioritises flexibility and environmental considerations, and as with any semi-temporary product, repeated removal and refitting—particularly in sliding windows or higher-friction areas—can lead to increased wear over time.
We appreciate your honesty in comparing Renshade with other ecoMaster products. Feedback like yours is genuinely valuable and helps guide future improvements.
If you’d like to get in touch with us directly, we’d be more than happy to talk through your experience and see how we can help.

This was my first attempt in installing insulation. I went with Ecomaster because of the DIY videos. There were 3 things that I created issues, but on each of them an Ecomaster team member (I ended up interacting with 4 of them) gave me the timely help I needed. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I’d definitely go with them again.

A very neat fitting draught stopper that moves with the door. It really does stop the draughts
Hi Monti,
Thank you for your feedback on our RP1 Fluffy Roller Door Seal! We are glad to hear that it has been an effective draught stopper and that it moves with the door seamlessly. Thank you for choosing our product.
Useful for blocking drafts, but mostly using them to stop bees coming into the house from the roof space. Easy to fit, but they make a bit of a clunk when you open the door (air pressure) so I put a little felt furniture pads in them the muffle the sound.
Hi Adam,
Thanks for your review! We're thrilled to hear that our DraftStoppa covers are helping with blocking drafts and keeping bees out. Great to hear that using felt furniture pads to muffle the sound due to high air pressure has worked for you. Thanks so much for choosing our products!
