If you have a drafty window or door, these little snakes are a must-have in your home. Placed at the bottom of the door or window , these weighted fabric tubes help block out the unwanted chill. Hi moms, we cannot afford new windows right now. Besides the plastic that you put over the windows to block the draft of cold air, do you have any other suggestions?
Use heavy fabrics or layered curtains over the windows to keep out drafts. Or, purchase insulated curtains with built-in thermal backing.
Another benefit of thermal curtains is that the thick fabric is typically also light-blocking, which can help light-sensitive sleepers. Sealing the windows with weather stripping will help block out unwanted cold in the winter and even keep the air-conditioning inside during the summer by blocking the tiny spaces in between your windows and the outside elements. Learning how to fix a drafty window requires a some effort, but you can save energy and money, since the cost of most do-it-yourself weather stripping can be recovered.
Ok I rent part of a duplex from a textbook absentee landlady, I put up with things here and there and in return Landlady keeps the rent cheap to make up. Stop that cold draft coming in around windows and doors by removing the trim and sealing the airflow permanently.
