5 Red Flags Your Windows Are Letting the Kentuckiana Winter Indoors
With the chilly fall breeze moving through the Kentuckiana region, staying warm and comfortable at home becomes top of mind. Prior to the arrival of freezing temperatures, checking your windows is a critical item for every homeowner's checklist. Your windows serve as the main barrier protecting your living space from harsh outdoor weather. Here are the top 5 things to check with your windows around your home.
1. “Curtain Flutter” aka drafts. If you feel a change in temperature as soon as you stand near the windows or see your curtains fluttering when the window is completely shut, your weather stripping or foundational seals need attention.
2. Inter-Pane condensation is when you see fog, moisture, or even actual water droplets trapped inside the panes of your windows. You can’t just “wipe” it away because it is inside of the pane. This drastically impacts the window’s insulating efficacy and needs to be addressed quickly.
3. Check the frames around the windows both inside and outside of your home. Chipping paints, water stains, mold growth, soft wood, or other signs of rot and decay indicate structural issues of your window frame.
4. Visible cracks and gaps where the window sash meets the out frame where you can see daylight peeking through or even tiny hairline fractures in the actual glass panels can lead to hidden water damage as well as drafts and other issues.
5. Your windows are a barrier to outside noise. If you can clearly hear conversations of people walking down the stress, distant traffic, and other common noises, there may be larger issues in the seals or windows themselves.
