How To Stop Window Draft In Winter

As winter approaches in Minnesota, homeowners face the challenge of keeping the cold out and warmth in. One of the most common culprits behind heating challenges are faulty windows. At Cardinal Exteriors, we know how harsh Minnesota winters can be, and we’ve put together this guide to help you stop window drafts and make your home warmer and more energy-efficient.

Why Fixing Window Drafts is Important

Before we explain how to fix it, let’s understand why having a good seal on your windows is important. In a climate like Minnesota’s, ignoring drafts can lead to discomfort, more expensive heating bills, and even structural damage to your home.

How Cardinal Exteriors Can Fix Your Window Drafts

 

Thorough Window Inspections

It all starts with a detailed inspection by our team. We will carefully examine your windows, identify any air leaks or damage, and recommend the best solution—whether it’s a minor repair or replacement. Our inspections ensure that no drafts go unnoticed, saving you time and money in the long run.

Pro Tip: Early inspection can prevent emergency repairs during the coldest winter months. If you are concerned about window damage and how that may impact your home in the Winter, it’s best to have that looked at before winter even begins.

Expert Window Sealing and Caulking

If your window frames have minor gaps or cracks, we can apply high-quality caulking and weatherstripping to seal the leaks. We only use durable, weather-resistant materials when doing this work. These quick fixes often make a big difference in improving the comfort of your home and the performance of your windows. However, due to their patch-fix nature they aren’t always necessarily a long-term solution.

Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades

If your windows are old or beyond simple repairs, Cardinal Exteriors offers energy-efficient window replacements designed for Minnesota’s extreme winters. Our windows are built to block out drafts, reduce energy consumption, provide insulation for year-round comfort, and improve the look of your home.

Pro Tip: New, energy-efficient windows not only stop drafts but can also increase the value of your home!
