Indoor window thermal barrier (indoor storms)

I was looking at these double pane indoor inserts. Here:
Guy Marsden - insulating windows

I really like the design. But then, I saw these..

Window Insulation, Storm and Replacements windows

That looks like the idea way to make some good insulation..
So, since it's unlikely they have that kind of aluminum at Home Depot, could one use what they do have in stock??
White, 60 in. x 5/16 In., Screen Kit-7025203010 at The Home Depot

Then, it came to me.. Buy Two screen kits and bolt them together, back-to-back!

You need to get some film that will stay in the grooves, using the kit's spline.

I need to check this stuff out..

This idea just might work better than the fancy one above, since the air-gap would likely be 2X larger!

Comments please.

Cheers,
Rich
