Weather stripping is the rubber and metal seal that surrounds your windows and doors as a barrier against inclement weather, heat, and cold. In many cases, this barrier wears out and in fact, replacing it every few years is a normal home maintenance chore. When this replacement or repair is done well, you can save costs on home energy expenses and can increase the comfort level in your home.
On its most basic level, high-quality weather stripping amounts to fewer drafts of outside air getting into your indoor space. That amounts to significant energy savings over time and more stable temperatures. Some customers save 15 percent. Other benefits are also good to know about, but less well understood. They include:
- Fewer insects: If the cold air is able to get in, it's likely that pests like insects and spiders are getting past as well. Good weather stripping in %city% can stop them in their tracks.
- Lasting: Maintenance of these seals can mean you don't have to replace aging windows prematurely.
- Safer air quality: Worn out weather stripping, especially between your living space and the garage, can lead to noxious fumes and dirty air in your home. The same is true for broken stripping between living spaces and attics, crawlspaces, or utility closets.
- More quiet: What is true for hot and cold air is also true for sound. Keep a peaceful, quiet space while inside your house with top notch, properly maintained weather stripping.
Replacing your weather stripping on a single door is relatively easy if the door is new, matching parts are available and no resizing is not necessary. Attempting weather stripping replacement projects yourself can be dangerous for the health of you and your family, because improper can lead to bad indoor air quality.
