Weather stripping is necessary for a comfortable home

Weather stripping is the metal or rubber seal that surrounds your windows and doors as a way to keep out wet conditions, summer heat, and winter cold. Eventually, this barrier needs replacement. Replacing it every few years is a common building maintenance chore. When this repair is done well, you can save money on home energy bills have fewer cold drafts and hot spots.

Fundamentally, the best weather stripping can mean drafts and outside air not getting into your house. That causes huge energy savings over time and increased comfort. Our customers report savings of 10-15 percent. Other benefits are also significant, but less well understood. They include:

• Pests stay out: If the cold is getting through, it's likely that pests like spiders, cockroaches, ants and beetles are too. Good weather stripping can stop them today.
• Longer-lasting windows: Maintenance can mean you don't have to pay for replacement of aging windows or doors prematurely.
• Cleaner indoor air: Worn out weather strips, particularly near entry and exit doors, can result in polluted air getting into your home. The same is true for bad weather stripping between living spaces and attics, crawlspaces, or utility closets.
• Less noise: What is true for airwaves is also true for noise. Achieve a peaceful, quiet environment within your home with high-quality, properly installed weather stripping.

Replacing your weather stripping on a single door can seem easy, as long as the door is fairly new, you can find parts and you don't have to cut and measure. But the truth is that more involved weather stripping tasks can be frustrating and can take a lot of time. In some cases, attempting these projects yourself can also be dangerous, as incorrect replacement can lead to bad indoor air quality.
