The more layers of protection on something that is drafty or even good
windows, the more air will stay out.
For example, if it is possible, install shutters on your windows for the winter
months and use them. Close in the windows especially on very cold days or
very windy days. This will keep the cold from getting in.
But, inside your home, you can even more layers of protection to take into
consideration. First off, if you have blinds on your windows, make sure that
those blinds are lying flat and that they cover the entire window. In
addition, the shades that you use should be pulled all the way down.
Finally, decorate your windows with drapes and curtains that are lined.
These are a bit more in cost than other drapes, but they provide a great deal
of energy protection to those in need. This is a great tip for those that are looking for ways to easily save money. A heavy drape covering the window
can help you to save countless dollars in energy costs all winter.
Paying attention to your windows will allow you to save a great deal of
