Don’t Overlook Basement Windows When Winterizing Your Home

By Bill Dilworth On November 1, 2017 0 Comment

November has arrived and there’s a chill in the air! Have you taken steps to winterize your home? Did you remember to check the basement for leaks and drafts? If not, now is the time!

A little bit of research is all it takes to learn some simple do-it-yourself solutions to make your house more energy efficient and save on that monthly electric bill. Caulk, weather stripping, and window insulation film kits are a few ways you can deal with gaps along windows or door frames.

However, basement windows are often overlooked as a source of heat loss.

Many basement windows are steel framed, single panel, drafty, and surrounded by an outside window well. The window well is designed to divert water from heavy rain or melting snow and ice away from the foundation, but they don’t prevent frigid winter air from entering your home. Also, water can still seep through gaps in the window frame causing dampness, mold formation, and damage to your basement and anything that is stored there.

A quick fix to this problem would be to purchase a “generic” plastic window well cover from a home improvement store, but many times they don’t fit snugly and are only temporary…not strong enough to withstand more than one season of harsh weather before they crack or break.

This is where Window Bubble can help.
