Windows with poor insulation will result in uncomfortable environments and will also create excessive energy bills. There are many ways to improve the insulation of your windows. This will help keep the heat in during cold weather, as well as block out heat during warmer weather. Good insulation will also block out sound. Here are a few simple ways that you can improve the insulation of your windows.
Window Insulation Film
This is an internal method for window insulation. This is essentially a layer of film that is placed over the window. When done correctly, this film will not impact the appearance of your windows. It often comes with shrink wrap that can help seal openings in the window.
Bubble Wrap
Though this is not the best-looking option, bubble wrap can be used to provide an extra layer of insulation to your windows. This can be implemented easily and inexpensively, but it will impact the appearance of your window.
Rope Caulking
Rope caulking is a form of caulk that is very similar to silly putty. It can be placed into crevices and other openings where air can potentially escape. Rope caulking can be implemented in both the interior and the exterior of the window in order to provide the most thorough insulation possible.
Thermal Curtains
Thermal curtains can help hold warm air inside the home in colder climates. Additionally, it can help block heat out during summer which can keep the interior of the home cooler. In addition to the air insulation of thermal curtains, they can also help to block out both light and sound.
