I cut and used this to cover my 6 foot portable ac exhaust hose in my bedroom. I purchased the ac last summer and this is my first experience with a portable style. I live in the desert southwest where 105 is a mild summer day. Ugh! The ac put out a lot of wonderful cool air BUT the exhaust hose put out a lot of terrible heat into the same space. It seemed so counterproductive to me. They do make sleeves to cover the exhaust hose that you can purchase for 85.00 and up. I only paid 200 for the brand new ac. I don't like to buy things that can be taken care of in a cheaper way. I cut the pieces and fit for the curves in the hose. I was able to use full pieces on the straight parts of the hose. I used aluminum duct tape that can withstand heat to tape the pieces together. It has held great! Our 110 degree days did not loosen the tape. Yeah! I can't tell you just how much this allowed my ac to cool my bedroom even more. I was so impressed that I bought another roll and did my children's bedroom ac exhaust hose. The baby monitor detects its 10-12 degrees cooler in the room than before I covered it. My electric bill also dropped 34.00 compared to last year with all things the same inside and outside. I highly recommend anyone using a portable ac covers the exhaust hose with this product!
