Getting Your Basement Windows Ready for Winter

Winter is coming, is your home ready? While many homeowners will add insulation, window films and weather stripping, many forget about one place where drafts can quickly and easily enter the home – the basement windows. Even if your basement is unfinished, exposed basement windows can create a breeding ground for winter weather problems. Window well covers provide an effective way to cover windows and protect your home from winter hazards. Here are some steps to ensure your windows, and home, are protected.

Clean he Window Wells

If your window wells have not been covered through the fall, take the time to clean them. Remove debris and ensure there is not standing water in the window well. This will prevent mold and ice from developing in the window well as winter weather comes.

Add a Window Well Cover

Once the window well is clean, having a custom-built cover from Window Bubble is your best option. These covers are crafted out of durable Plexiglas and are custom made for your window’s measurements. This means no drafts to allow cold winter wind to breach your home’s envelope. The durable Plexiglas material also resists damage from thawing and freezing temperatures, ensuring that your window well covers will stand strong all winter long. Even the pressure of many inches of snow will not warp or damage the strong Plexiglas material.

Remember, winter is coming, and you will want to ensure that your home is properly protected from the cold temperatures. If you don’t address your window wells and your basement windows, you could be wasting heating and cooling energy by allowing it to flow right out the window. With the help of Window Bubble, you can protect your home’s envelope and ensure that you have a warm, well-insulated home all winter long. With solutions for homes of all sizes, Window Bubble has your windows covered.
