Drafty windows can be a nuisance to deal with. Not only will they make your indoor air less comfortable, but you’ll also notice a hike in your monthly energy expenses. If you have drafty windows, addressing the problem as soon as possible will help you avoid unnecessary costs due to energy inefficiency. 

The window specialists at NuVue Products have repaired and replaced hundreds of drafty windows to Cincinnati, OH, residents for over six decades. Below, they offer both quick fixes and long-term solutions to keep your indoor air comfortable. 

Quick Fixes

In some cases, you may need fast and easy short-term solutions for your drafty windows. Weather stripping is one of the cheapest and simplest ways to keep cool air from entering your home. Rope caulk, too, is a convenient option, helping to seal any gaps between your windows and their frames. Additionally, shrink film offers excellent insulation and effectively protects your home from drafts.

All of these options are inexpensive, will not damage your windows, and will provide you with temporary relief from drafts until you can schedule an appointment with a window specialist. 

Long-Term Repairs

Eventually, your drafty windows will require more substantial repairs to permanently fix the issue. To stop leaks, replace any loose or absent glazing on your windows. Next, consider installing storm windows, which add an extra layer of protection. But the best long-term solution is to hire your local window specialist to install energy-efficient windows. Insulated, low-emission replacement windows are an excellent choice when you want to stop drafts, decrease your heating and cooling bills, save energy, and—overall—increase the value of your home.
