How to prepare your windows for winter?

​Summer is coming to an end, which means cooler weather is coming. Winter weather can be pretty damaging to your home's windows and doors. Fortunately, a little planning can go a long way toward keeping your home warm and secure throughout the season. Our best window cleaner team presents this winterising checklist to prepare your windows for the winter.

Make sure your windows are sealed well no matter what else you do. Weatherstripping is easy to put in and doesn't cost much. Just ensure that each of your windows has a good seal and that there are no gaps where draughts can get in. Weather strips are also classified into compression, V-type, and foam. Compression weather strips are the most durable for seal-swinging doors and window sashes. In contrast, V-type weather strips form a seal against the side of a door or window jam and prevent cold air from entering, and foam weather stripping is available in various sizes and has an adhesive backing on one side. While foam weather stripping is the most user-friendly, it only lasts one to three years.

Cover and insulate with window film inside and outside. Sealing will keep most of the cold air out, but it will not eradicate any gaps in the window panes, cracks in the windows, or cold air that comes off the glass. You can employ a variety of window films to prevent entry. These covers have varying degrees of transparency, ranging from barely letting light through to being practically transparent. Select the proper window film, apply it, and "shrink wrap" it with a blow dryer. Bubble wrap is also an effective insulator for apartment window panes, despite its unsightly appearance. Spray a fine mist of water inside your clean window, then press the bubble side of the bubble wrap against the wet surface. Sealing the edges with tape may assist retain heat. 

Lastly, thermal drapes are the least time-consuming way to winterise your windows. These are long curtains that cover the inside windows. And, unlike weatherstripping or window film, you won't have to remove them when spring arrives: Thermal drapes work all year, insulating and cooling your interior space in winter and summer. If you want to save money on energy, you can use blackout curtains, made of materials that are specifically designed to block sunlight. Blackout curtains, originally designed for hotels, have become increasingly popular in private homes over the years. Regardless of whether you choose thermal drapes or blackout curtains, the great thing about both is that they come in various shapes and designs, so you should have no trouble finding a set that complements the aesthetics of your home.

These easy "fixes" to your windows will ensure you're more than prepared for winter's cold blasts. Windows that are properly maintained can help keep your home more comfortable all year.
