Pick a window in your house. When you place your hand next to it, do you feel a draft coming in? If you do, you are facing an insulation problem.
Windows that are not properly insulated let drafts in, and take money out of your wallet. Creating a tight seal around the windows allows you to save energy, maintain a comfortable temperature in your home, and reduce the amount of money you spend on utility bills.
In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to reduce heating costs this winter; starting with V Seal weatherstrip for windows and doors.
V-Seal weather stripping is among the most cost-effective tools that can be used to solve a window insulation problem.
You may be wondering, “What is a V Seal?” V-Seal weather stripping is a roll made of polypropylene used specifically to insulate windows and doors. The roll can be as long as 180 feet.
On one half of the seal is an adhesive backing for application. Choosing to insulate windows with this weatherstripping tool will cost as little as $18.00. It seals the window from those annoying drafts, helping to reduce the amount of energy loss (and costs) from the windows in a home.
V seal weatherstrip has an adhesive backing and is designed to be easily bent so that it forms a V shape once pressed into the corner of a window or door. It comes in various widths and lengths, and is made of insulating polypropylene that is pressed against the sides of gaps or cracks in windows to create a seal and eliminate window drafts. It can be installed in a few simple steps:
- Measure windows and clean the surface for application.
- Using a pair of scissors, cut the V Seal weatherstrip to the desired length.
- Fold the cut piece into a “V” shape.
- Remove adhesive backing.
- Using your fingertips, place the V Seal weatherstrip on the cleaned surface.
In addition to being affordable and durable, V Seal weatherstrip does not diminish the visual appeal of your windows or doors, as it is invisible when in place. Once the cracks and gaps in windows have been taken care of, you will be on the right track to having more control over the temperatures in your home as well as the cost of heating.
