I've got a solarium off the master bedroom. It's a great feature in the summer, however, this is our first winter in the house and we're freezing at night. The previous owners who installed the solarium also installed two baseboard heaters. Are there window insulation kits available for solariums. As you can imagine I get a lot of moisture on the inside. Will the plastic help. Any suggestion.

Sounds as though there is no wall between your bedroom and this solarium. Probably taken out when the room was installed.If it were mine, I would frame the wall back in with a 6' sliding glass door, or a pair of french doors in it. Insulate the wall, just like an exterior wall. From what you are describing, I doubt that there is any way to bring the solarium up to the insulation standards required for your area. Don't kill your utility bill trying to keep everything comfortable.
