5 Ways To Keep Your Windows Safe For Winters

Winters are coming and you have to take care for many things. The season is not only to change the outfits but also to make changes in the interior of house from layered curtains to shrink-wrap film. Check out some of the tips to prepare windows for winters.

* Rubber Weather Sealing

You can buy strips of self-stick rubber weather sealing at a hardware store or online. Cut long strips down to fit your window dimensions, then peel and stick to the frame to close any gaps and keep out drafts.

* Window Insulation Film

You can buy window insulation kits from a hardware store or online. Kits usually include plastic shrink film that is applied to the indoor window frame with double-stick tape, then heated with a hair dryer to shrink the film and remove any wrinkles.

* Cellular Shades

Cellular Shades insulate while still letting in light through the windows. They can be ordered and custom cut from home and design centers.

* Layered Curtains

Use heavy fabrics or layered curtains over the windows to keep out drafts.

* Draft Snakes

Draft snakes are fabric tubes placed on a window sill or under a door to prevent cold air from creeping in. You can make one by sewing a tube of fabric to fit the width of your window and filling it with dried rice.
