New Article from Beissel Window & Siding Explains Why Windows Become Drafty and How Homeowners Can Fix Them
West St Paul, United States – March 5, 2026 / Beissel Window & Siding /
Beissel Window & Siding released an informative article designed to help homeowners understand why drafty windows occur and how these issues can be effectively addressed. The piece, Causes and Remedies for Dealing with Drafty Windows, outlines the frequent reasons outdoor air infiltrates through windows and offers practical steps for identifying and fixing these problems.
In the new article, readers can explore the most common contributors to unwanted airflow around windows, including misalignment due to house settling, worn-out seals in double-pane designs, deterioration of caulking around frames, and outdated single-pane units that no longer perform as homeowners expect. The content also walks through how homeowners can diagnose draftiness — from a simple visual inspection for damaged components to using a candle test to locate air leaks.
The article goes beyond causes to outline five actionable remedies for drafty windows. These range from tightening existing installation points with fresh caulk or weatherstripping, enhancing insulation with storm window additions or insulation kits, to repairing or replacing damaged glass or seals. For older windows that regularly allow outdoor air to intrude, the article encourages considering new windows with modern energy performance features.
Understanding Air Infiltration Around Windows
Drafty windows can significantly affect indoor comfort and climate control costs. The article addresses how gaps and compromised seals not only let cold air in during winter and hot air in summer, but can also undermine a home’s overall energy efficiency. With the steps identified, homeowners have clear guidance on how to evaluate the condition of their windows and begin to fix issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
