Tips for Sealing Air Leaks
2:11 PM 12/27/2012
Hello everyone,
As with many old homes, there are drafts around the doors and windows, do you have tips for sealing around doors and windows? What has worked best for you?
Does this removable weatherstripping work?

Caulk is your real option, outside of replacing windows. If there are really big gaps, you have some other options, but to just seal small cracks, caulk is a solid option.

When I rented an apartment with drafty windows I used the 3M/Scotch window insulator kits which involve putting up sheets of clear plastic (you don't really notice the plastic once it's up). It's not a permanent solution by any means, but it worked really well.
