Grandma's house had 'em. Ours is a new house (7 years old) with builder
basic vinyl windows. There's one huge (6050) picture window on the north side that just sheds in soooo much cold air - it's unbelievable!!! In winter, the cold air just cascades down the thing! Budget's very tight - and I'm rather look for some inexpensive ways to address the draftiness without looking at a replacement yet. Put up some of that clear plastic sheeting - and it helped. But am now looking for something that might last 3 or so years. Watched an episode of This Old House where they had new windows going in a historic house - and they had "energy panels" - essentially Storm Windows on the inside. That got me thinking - does anyone think a storm window might be a reasonable approach on this picture window? |
