Stop wasting money on heating. Properly insulating your windows is a key step to keeping your home warm and efficient.
Run your hand along the window frames—you'll likely feel cold drafts sneaking in. These icy currents cool your rooms quickly, forcing your heater to work overtime.
Fortunately, there's a proven, low-cost solution using everyday newspaper to seal those gaps effectively.
1. Identify drafty spots by running your hand over your window frames.
2. Seal each infiltration point with folded newspaper.
3. Fold 4 sheets of newspaper neatly for a snug fit.
4. Secure them in place with tape for a tight seal.
Your windows are now effectively insulated! You'll notice your heating system works more efficiently—rooms heat up faster, and warmth lingers longer, even after turning off the heater.
Sleep comfortably through chilly mornings without running heat overnight.
Avoid unnecessary heating expenses due to poor insulation.
