One of the big focuses of the last few years is how to make our homes more energy-efficient and keep homes warmer in the winter without having to use central heating constantly. As well as using our garage door seals to seal holes in your garage door to prevent heat loss, window gaskets are ideal to help boost your window’s energy efficiency, particularly on older windows. Energy-efficient windows help to regulate the temperature of your home and avoid paying hefty heating costs year-round.
Making your home’s windows more energy-efficient can benefit you in a number of ways. Aside from being more environmentally-friendly, making your windows more energy efficient can also help to keep your home warmer, or cooler for longer without having to pump heating through your house on high temperatures on a regular basis.
Making your windows more efficient helps to prevent cool air from entering your house and warm air from escaping your house in the winter, it can also help to regulate your house’s temperature year-round. Making your windows more energy-efficient can help to lower your heating bills dramatically and save you a lot of money in the long-term.
If you find that a lot of heat is escaping from your windows, there are a few things you can do to combat this.
The first thing you should do is to check your windows for any sign of escaping air. This could be because of gaps in your windows or old, single glazing that is allowing heat to escape from your home. One option to stop heat from escaping from your windows in this way is to replace your windows with double or triple glazed windows. However, if you do not want to go through the hassle and cost of completely replacing your windows you can improve your window’s energy efficiency without replacing them completely by sealing the edges of your windows.
By using a window gasket seal such as an E gasket seal or a window bubble seal, you can effectively seal the edges of your household windows and boost their effectiveness in both the short and long term.
A window gasket seal is something that is fitted to your window frame in order to prevent things such as water or draughts from entering your home. This makes them ideal for increasing the energy efficiency of your home by sealing the edges of your windows, particularly in the case of older windows where the original sealant has worn down. Window gasket seals also offer the benefit of sound reduction from outside noise which can also be a problem with older windows.
