Home Maintenance
Weatherstripping is the sealing of gaps around doors and windows, thus preventing air leaks. While individual gaps are minor, all the gaps in a home can account for a large amount of energy loss. These weatherstrips will help maintain a consistent indoor temperature, and reduce the need for both heating and cooling.
It’s important to make sure that when setting up any kind of weatherstripping, it is being applied to a clean surface and has been accurately measured to fit the desired area. Once applied, always be sure to double check for gaps, and readjust if needed.
