Fighting Window Condensation

In this day and age, windows and doors as well as modern insulation systems are keeping homes and other building structures better insulated than ever before. While this is a good thing for energy costs, this is causing the very unique problem of not allowing moisture to properly escape. This lack of ventilation frequently causes windows to be clouded by excess condensation and moisture. To make this more understandable, it is similar to the condensation that forms on the outside of a cool glass of liquid on a warm day. While this can seem just like an annoyance, this can also cause problems in the home such as mold, fungus, and other unwanted moisture-related occurrences. In order to keep moisture from getting caught in your home, there are methods for keeping your home properly ventilated. For more information on that, Canadian Home Workshop has a few helpful tips to keep your home cool and dry this winter.

Preparing Your Doors and Doorframes For Winter: One Source Building Products

Oklahoma weather will quickly remind all residents that preparation is key to not only keeping your home toasty warm when a cold front comes through, but also to minimize heating bills by ensuring that your hard-earned heat isn't literally going out the door. Drafty doors are one of many culprits to high energy bills and chilly floors throughout a home. It is for this reason why we can turn to the how-to experts from Wikinut to share just how to tell if money is flying out the door and what you can do about it. 


Though heat can leak through the tops and edges of doors, the space just underneath doors are some of the easiest places to lose heat. First, see if any outside light is visible from inside under the door. If there is not, sometimes feeling under the door can indicate whether or not their is a leak. To make the process more sensitive, lightly wet your hand. At this point, even the faintest traces of a draft should be evident. Repeat this test around the edges of the door frame. 

In order to stop leaky drafts dead in their tracks, the use of a latex caulking is an effective means of keeping your home sealed. If old sealant is damaged, sometimes ridding your home of drafts is as easy as replacing the sealant and double checking for any drafts around door frames. Other methods of sealing up a door frame include using some form of weather stripping; whether it be foam, plastic, cork, felt, or other materials available from your local hardware store. Cut the stripping to the proper length and fasten it in place to prevent drafts.
