Nobody wants to feel those cold drafts during the winter in the comfort of their own home. I mean picture it… You’re sitting there watching a movie with your loved one, eating popcorn, enjoying each others company, and all you can feel is that cold draft sifting through your living room and giving you the chills, making you feel uncomfortable.
Most commonly these cold drafts are due to inefficiencies in your windows. Here are some reasons you might feel the draft and be in need of a window repair or replacement:
Aging Window and/or Frame: Windows wear down even if you don’t use them frequently. For example,over time wood frames can crack or warp causing a break in the seal, which will allow cold air to get in.
General Wear & Tear: As windows are used on a regular basis, wear and tear can become a factor. An example of this may be the weatherstripping being compacted, twisted, or even torn right off.
Poor Installation: Installation Matters. It is essential that you have your windows installed by a trained professional to insure that the window is installed correctly with a foolproof seal. A weak seal will lead to many cool drafts getting inside your home.
Extreme Outdoor Temperature Changes: Let’s face it, we live in Saskatchewan and we are no stranger to how one day it is summer and the next it is winter. This is where quality comes into play. Having a quality window, suited for your living area, is essential. Windows are manufactured and installed using materials that will expand and contract depending on the temperature outside. Purchasing a quality window from a reputable installer will ease your mind and keep the cold drafts out for many, many years down the road.
If you know what I am talking about and are sick and tired of feeling that cold draft day, after day, it is in your best interest to contact a professional to assess the situation. They will be able to isolate the problem, and point you in the right direction so you can be warm, and stay warm in the comfort of your home.
