The process of sealing gaps around window frames and glass to prevent unwanted air infiltration is a key element in maintaining indoor temperature and comfort. Successfully implementing techniques to achieve this reduces energy consumption and minimizes the impact of external weather conditions on interior spaces.
Addressing air leaks from windows provides several benefits, including lower heating and cooling costs, improved indoor air quality by reducing dust and pollen entry, and increased overall home comfort. Historically, various methods have been employed, ranging from simple caulk application to more complex weather stripping installations, reflecting advancements in building science and energy efficiency.
