Anybody know some simple eaithe DIY or cheap solutions to closed sealed windows that are still letting in cold air?
if its at home a towel or blanket can cover drafts- it happens to us sometimes and its cheap too
walmart etc. sells window and door sealer kits for cheap. they worked well last year for me.
caulk, weatherstripping, etc. If that doesn’t work, try window film insulation kits, such as the one made by 3M.
If you want a quick fix, plastic table cloths are pretty good insulators, and you get to keep the view.
there’s a new product on the market dols for $10 at CVS – Twin Draft (?). It is a sleeve that contains a foam filling, it fits under the door and stops the draft from both sides.
also, you may ultimately want to replace the window. If it’s for your residence, the federal government will pick up 30% of the cost of the window if it’s in service by Dec. 31, and if you haven’t yet used up all of your $1500 energy tax credit in 2009 and 2010.
u dont know the commercial>>>> CALL THE US WINDOW FACTORY 800WINDOWS
plastic table cloth and heavy tape should do the trick, though the tape might ruin the paint on ur walls…
Poster, use double sided tape and stick it on the vinyl window, not the wall. Then, use a warm iron over the plastic (make sure it’s the thick kind, not the cheap kind) to smooth out creases. It may take practice.
Getting Federal tax credits this time of year is a good idea, because you can get the rebate pretty soon after you’ve spent the money (as opposed to doing something in January and waiting a year). Just make sure it’s a refundable credit- I have no idea.
