Drafts Got You Down? TightSeal Residential Windows Are Made For Milwaukee
Let’s Walk Through The Basics
And Give You Options
Are you in the Milwaukee area and feeling hot and cold air sneaking in through your windows? Wondering why your windows are drafty? At TightSeal, we’ve been helping homeowners replace old drafty windows for decades. Let’s quickly dive into some helpful information.
Drafty windows are a common problem among Milwaukee homeowners thanks to our four seasons and extreme weather. The issue is that drafty windows (especially here) can greatly impact your energy bill throughout the year.
We’ll begin with your seals.
Dreaded Window Seal Failures
Seal failure happens when the seal of your window breaks and the argon gas between the glass escapes. Then there’s no protection from the outside elements, making it extremely energy inefficient.
- Sometimes, it’s low-quality construction that’s to blame. We offer a versatile line of high-quality double/triple pane windows that fit most budgets.
- TightSeal windows are strong, built Wisconsin-Tough to weather the storms and seasonal changes in the Milwaukee area over the long haul.
Window seals can break from wear and tear, poorly installed windows, excessive mold build-up, or even extreme temperatures and the elements if the window isn’t of good quality.
Poorly Installed Windows
Oftentimes, when residential windows aren’t properly installed to industry standards, drafts will result sooner rather than later. This is because the window and frame don’t correctly fit the opening, and gaps let in air. Sloppy workmanship like this is far too common.
- TightSeal doesn’t use subcontractors. Our teams are experienced, well-trained to our high standards, and accountable.
- To see what folks are saying, you can check out some of our case studies of window projects or read through customer reviews (we’ve got tons).
Our professional installers know how to fit your TightSeal windows perfectly into each opening, preventing drafts. Higher-caliber products. Higher-caliber materials. And a reliable, not-sloppy-whatsoever installation.
Window Caulking Cracks
Caulk goes around your window where the frame meets the structure to help prevent drafts from getting into your home. Caulk acts as an obstacle between outdoor air and your home. Caulk must be applied evenly to provide a full seal around your house windows. If there are cracks in your window caulk, then outside air has an easy way into your home.
- From low-grade to high-grade, there’s plenty of caulking on the market. We use the best caulking for the job based on decades of experience and usage.
- Our installers don’t cut corners but apply it evenly to provide a full, tight seal. Regardless of which type of replacement window we’re installing, every detail counts.
If you need to rest easy and know every proper material, tool, and methodology are used when installing your new windows, TightSeal is here. Put our informative low-stress process to work for you and your Milwaukee-area home.
Creeeeeek: Old Windows
If we can stand back and look at your windows and say, “Yep, they don’t make ’em like that anymore.” then the time has likely come for replacement. And if the windows are way beyond their prime, the framing will also need a professional inspection for rotting, mold, and general wear and tear.
One easy example we still see regularly around Milwaukee Metro is old single-pane windows. TightSeal windows are double and triple-pane. They provide far superior energy efficiency, security, noise reduction, aesthetic/curb value, etc. Drafts will be a thing of the past!
