How To Winterize Windows in Calgary

  • October 19, 2020
  • , 7:05 am

With winter approaching, you have to take the necessary precautions to ensure that your windows are safely secured in your home. Without winterizing your windows, you risk your home being exposed to the following issues:

  • Cold breezes that make you uncomfortable 
  • Higher energy bills with low-levels of power 
  • Damaged windows that can result in costly repairs or window replacement in Calgary in the future 

If you wish to ignore these potential problems, then you have to winterize your windows. Here is how you can go about doing it.

Winterize Your Windows in Calgary

Check Your Current Windows & Replace If Needed

First’s thing first: are your windows good enough to last you through winter? If so, you can continue below to see some great tips on how to winterize them. If not, then you might have to consider window replacement in Calgary. 

Start shopping around for high-quality windows that are energy efficient and strong enough to withstand the winter weather. When you do find them, get them installed as soon as possible so that you’re protected in the cold. 

Add Insulation To The Windows 

Adding a layer of insulation to your windows can help protect it in the long-term. Make sure you use a batt insulation or spray foam to insulate your windows so no cold air comes through during the wintertime. Just make sure that you do not overstuff the area with the insulation and keep it level. 

Caulking window

Add Weather Stripping 

By adding weather stripping to your windows, you make sure that no breeze enters your home at all. As there are multiple different types of weather stripping, make sure that you add the right stuff for your windows. 

Use Caulking Around The Windows

Perhaps the most inexpensive way for you to block out the cold winds. Caulking is great in that it blocks air filtering through your windows while adding a level of durability. It might take some skill in order to get the technique right. 

Reinforce Windows To Reduce Draft 

If you have the opportunity, then it is best to reinforce your windows so that they have an extra layer to reduce draft. You can do this by adding a second sash lock or getting double or triple-paned Calgary windows. 

By following these steps, you can ensure that your Calgary windows are safely protected during the winter months. If you want advice, be sure to speak to a window professional so you know you’re making the right decision.
