Is your home ready for winter?
As fall blows in you have to go through a major transition period. You move from relaxing in shorts and a t-shirt while taking in the hot summer days, to bundling up and fighting off the chill of a fast-approaching winter.
As you transition to the colder months, you should think about helping your home do the same.
Not only is fall the perfect time to help protect your home against the cold, but it’s also the right time to change up the look of your home a bit as well. The best way to do that is by updating windows, entry doors, and siding around your home.
Do you feel a draft when it gets really cold outside? That’s likely because you have older windows installed in your home that probably leak air and aren’t the most energy efficient. It’s especially true if you’ve got an older or historic home with single-pane glass windows. One of the best ways to remedy this issue is to upgrade the windows in your home to a quality energy efficient alternative. Choose modern windows that are rated highly for their energy efficiency.
You’ll be amazed at how effectively switching to quality windows is for keeping a draft at bay when it’s cool outside. At Window Outfitters we have a wide selection of energy efficient windows to pick and choose from in a variety of sizes. That makes it easy to find good quality windows to put on your home.
Did you know that after windows, exterior door openings are the biggest source of heat loss in a home? If you already have modern windows that are energy efficient, the next logical step is enhancing the exterior doors of your home. By updating your doors you can swap your old ones for more energy efficient options such as an attractive yet sturdy fiberglass door. You can also enhance the look of your entrance with a more stylish luxury front door.
Make sure that the door you purchase fits snugly in the opening so that cool air isn’t allowed in your entry area. Also ensure that the installer insulates around your door properly during the installation to really enhance the efficiency of your home and cut down on drafts that you feel on those cold winter nights.
Adding insulated vinyl siding to your home is an excellent way to protect it against the elements, and it’s also a way to make it a bit more energy efficient. That’s because the backer that goes behind siding helps to keep out the cold weather, and the siding itself serves as a reliable barrier for the elements, mainly moisture. This siding is relatively affordable, and is something that will last on your home for years.
Don’t wait until winter to improve your home and fight off that draft. Get started in now that it’s fall and you’ll be more than prepared when the weather finally turns cold.
