For those who live in a house with drafty windows, the dawn of colder weather means bracing for a long season of chilly temperatures. Not only do drafty windows make for uncomfortable homes, but they can cause heating bills to skyrocket during the winter months. Fortunately, the window specialists at NuVue Products - The Window Market have some solutions. With over 60 years' combined experience serving the Cincinnati, Ohio, area, they understand windows—and how to make them work their best for the comfort of the whole family.

3 Ways To Keep Your Windows Draft-Free This Winter

1. Weather-Stripping & Sealing

Installing weather-stripping on the inside of window frames can go a long way in preventing drafts and colder temps from seeping in. If you know the window will not be used at all during the winter, you can also seal the entire unit in plastic. Your local hardware store stocks plenty of options when it comes to weather-stripping and sealing, making it easy to find products that meet your needs and fit within your budget.

2. Caulking

On the exterior of your windows, caulking any gaps, cracks, and open spaces will help keep drafts and the cold at bay. Latex caulking provides a tight, dependable seal. As added benefits, it's also cheap to purchase and easy to apply.

3. Energy-Efficient Windows

The most effective solution is to install new, more energy-efficient windows. NuVue Products - The Window Market carries a full line of energy-efficient window options to match any budget and style. An investment in better-equipped windows means lower heating costs, more comfortable rooms, and cozier home-dwellers.
