What Causes Drafty Windows?

Drafty windows can be a common issue that homeowners face, especially in older houses. Not only do they make the home uncomfortable, but they also lead to increased energy bills as heated air escapes. If you’re dealing with drafty windows, it’s essential to understand what causes them and how we can help you solve this problem.

Common causes include:

  1. Deteriorating seals: over time, the seals around the window frames can deteriorate, allowing air to enter or escape.
  2. Poor window installation: improper installation can leave gaps between the window frame and the wall, creating a pathway for air leakage.
  3. Worn weatherstripping: weatherstripping creates a tight seal between the moving parts of a window. When it wears out or becomes damaged, drafts can occur.
  4. Single-pane windows: single-pane windows lack the insulating properties of double or triple-pane windows, making them more susceptible to drafts.
  5. Structural issues: in some cases, drafts can result from structural problems, such as gaps in the wall or poorly fitting windows.

How Renewal by Andersen can help

We specialize in high-quality replacement windows and doors. Here’s how we can help fix drafty windows:

  1. Custom window solutions: our custom-made windows ensure a precise fit in your home. Every window is customized to your precise measurements.
  2. Energy-efficient glass: our windows are equipped with advanced glass technology, including low-emissivity coatings and insulating gases, which help reduce drafts and maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
  3. Durable window frames: our window frames are made with Fibrex®, a patented material that combines wood’s strength with vinyl’s low-maintenance features. This prevents warping and shrinkage, ensuring a tight seal against drafts.
  4. Professional installation: our team of certified master installers will ensure that your new windows are correctly installed to eliminate any drafts caused by gaps or other installation errors.
  5. Warranty protection: we offer one of the industry’s best warranties, giving homeowners peace of mind that their windows are protected against defects or future draft issues.
