Useful Tips on Preventing Drafts from Entering Your Home

Drafts can damage your investments. These enter your home through small cracks and crevices in your interior. It is important that you are proactive in finding ways to prevent drafts.

Renewal by Andersen® of Cincinnati understands the threat that this can pose. Here are a few tips on dealing with them properly:

Inspect Your Home for Air Leakage

Before you start replacing your doors and windows, determine where cold air is entering. If you see condensation in your windowpanes, it may be time to replace them. On the other hand, if you see small crevices or cracks surrounding your patio doors, you may need to simply seal them. We offer airtight windows and patio doors in Cincinnati, which can prevent moisture from entering your home.

Glass Options

Hanging layered curtains on older windows can help prevent air leakage. We also offer products that come with High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass to help regulate heat in your home. This can keep you from using too much of your cooling and heating systems, which can lead to more energy savings. These glass options can also reduce water spots when exposed to sunlight, while preventing UV rays from entering your home. This combination of components will make sure that there is no room for draft to circulate in your home.

Door Replacement

Worn weatherstripping and caulking in your patio doors can also cause drafts to enter your home. By replacing them with insulated stripping or high-quality caulking, you can keep cold air from seeping in-between tight spaces. As your trusted exterior door replacement company in Cincinnati, we offer entry and patio doors that come with our unique material, Fibrex®. These are strong and are low-maintenance; they will not rot, warp, or peel, ensuring lasting protection from drafts.
