Prepare your home for winter: weatherstripping

Spaces around windows and doors can be big culprits of drafty, cold air. That’s where weatherstripping comes in. It fills the gaps and creates a tighter seal. Rolls start at just a few dollars at most home improvement and hardware stores and are easy to install.

Installation tips 

• Look for gaps and feel for drafts around windows and doors.

• Clean areas where self-adhesive weatherstripping will be installed.

• Measure space, then measure weatherstripping and cut to length.

• Apply weatherstripping along edge.

Once you close the window or door, you should have a nice, tight seal.
