Windows and doors are often a major factor in energy loss in your home. Windows only take up between 5-10% of a home's total surface area that is exposed to outside temperatures but account for as much as 30% of the heat lost in a home. Your options to fix these heat losses are to either purchase new windows or to try some low cost efforts to repair the window. Our collection of window air sealing products will save you energy.

You can keep your home more comfortable and save money too by weather-stripping your doors. Many doorways have large gaps along the door frame and the threshold – letting in lots of outside air. You can solve this problem by installing or replacing weather-stripping around the door and along the threshold.

In the winter, cold air seeps into your house, replacing the warm heated air and in the summer the opposite occurs. Weather proofing your home is the first step to improve the energy efficiency of your home. Even small weathering efforts can save dollars off your energy bill. Of course, a weatherized home saves more than money. It saves natural resources as well.

Low Expansion Foam Tips: Since the role of low expansion foam is air sealing, not insulation, more is not always better. Just a bead of foam, enough to close the gap and stop air movement, will generally be sufficient. Because low expansion foam requires moisture to cure, when the air is dry, a quick mist of water to the area before foaming will insure a better cure of the foam.
