Tips for Winterizing Windows in Buffalo, NY

Winters in Buffalo can be harsh. The temperatures can be blistering cold, and we can see several feet of snow overnight. This can take a toll on the windows of our homes. Protecting your windows during the winter can help save you money on repairs. Here are some tips for preparing your windows for winter:

• Clean Them: Dirt, dust, and debris around the seals of your window can compromise their effectiveness. Clean your windows to prevent drafts from occurring.

• Make Sure They’re Sealed: Check the seals before the winter months. Replace any old, worn-out weatherstripping and caulk the exterior as needed.

• Lock the Windows: Windows that are locked perform the best against the cold. They will have a tighter seal and cannot move around as much, reducing the chance of a draft.

• Remove Screens: Remove and clean your screens. If you have storm windows, install those.
