When The Dover Weather Gets Colder - And The Ways You Can Insulate Your Windows Against It

November 18, 2015

During these winter months, the weather sees a drop in temperatures in Dover. And when the first energy bill of the season arrives, you’ll be looking for ways to scale it down. Insulating your windows contributes to your energy savings during the colder winter months.

Discover these three ways to insulate your windows for the upcoming drop in temperature in .

Traditional Sealing Kits

It’s common to see weatherproofing kits in grocery stores in the Dover area. They contain a guide on where to place the tape, the length of film to cut, and how to shrink the film with a blowdryer. This reduces heat loss from drafts.

However most homeowners shy away from this method when they have a number of windows to cover. And insulating a window with shrink film means the window is closed until spring. If these things concern you, insulating window treatments, including Polywood® shutters and Solar Gard® window film, are a better option.

Polywood Shutters

Polywood Shutters Closed Tightly To Insulate The Windows For The Dover Winter

Crafted from a wood polymer, Polywood shutters are the most energy efficient window treatment money can buy in the Dover area. They shield against external conditions 70% better than the equivalent wood shutter, and 1600% better than an aluminum blind. Polywood blocks airflow by up to 45% and reduces the effects of temperature by 30°.

The shutter frame, the louver material, and the weather stripping make Polywood shutters the best choice for insulating your house.

Solar Gard Window Film

You can apply the premium window film, Solar Gard, to your windows through every season. It does not affect the look of your window like an insulating kit does. And the best part of Solar Gard is the ability to open the window at any time because the film is limited to the glass area, and not the frame.

Solar Gard is very convenient during Dover’s cooler seasons because it blocks heat transfer through the glass. Now the cold air stays out and the heat of the room remains in the room.
