Hear, hear, lend me your ear. Here’s a tip to keep your home warm if you are soon to experience winter! Small gaps around windows and doors may seem minor, but they allow cold air in and heat out, increasing your energy use. Sealing these drafts is essential and easy with weather caulking, stripping, or door sweeps. Different areas need different solutions. V-strips, made of metal or plastic, are durable and effective for side and top edges of doors and windows due to their V-shape. Door sweeps attach to the bottom edge of doors, blocking gaps between the door and the floor. Foam tape is soft and ideal for uneven cracks, with a sticky side for easy application. Vegan felt is affordable and simple to nail or staple, though less durable and efficient than other options. Start with exterior doors and windows as they are most exposed to the cold. Properly sealing your home will enhance comfort and energy efficiency all season long!
