CartHere’s How to Choose the Right Weatherstripping
Keep comfort locked in with energy-efficient Weatherstripping. Proper door and window Weatherstripping prevents cold air and moisture from entering your home and warm air from escaping. It will also help keep your home more comfortable year-round and reduce your heating and cooling costs. It’s important to use the right type of sealant for the task at hand. Here’s what you need to know.
Weatherstripping for Doors
A variety of Weatherstripping options can prevent energy loss from your front, side and back doors. While materials vary, most seals can be installed with basic DIY skills.
Weatherstripping for Windows
Preventing energy loss through windows requires a two-fold technique: insulating and creating barriers to drafts. Here are your options.
When to Replace Weatherstripping
Wondering when it’s time to replace your Weatherstripping? Here are some tips for determining when to replace this energy-efficiency-boosting resource.
Obvious Drafts | If you’ve noticed cool air entering around your windows and doors, it’s replacement time. Be sure to move thick window treatments and door runners out of the way when checking for drafts. |
Older Home | Older homes are particularly vulnerable to expanded joints caused by natural movement in the building’s foundation and wooden framing. If you live in a century home, look for these changes each season. |
Energy Bills | Are you experiencing dramatic changes in your heating or cooling bills? Check for drafts. (You may not have noticed them if you’re physically active or wear a lot of layers.) |
