Action: Go to Windowdressers.org and see if their custom-build insulating inserts are right for your windows

If you’re seeking an effective, sustainable way to improve your home’s comfort and energy efficiency, look no further than WindowDressers Window Inserts. These innovative inserts are not only an environmentally friendly choice but also offer a range of benefits that make them an excellent option for a variety of homes.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

At the core of WindowDressers Window Inserts is a commitment to sustainability. By adding an extra layer of insulation to your windows, inserts help to minimize heat loss during the winter and keep your home cooler in the summer. This results in lower heating and cooling costs, which translates into reduced energy use and a smaller carbon footprint. 

Enhanced Comfort

Drafty windows can make any space feel less inviting, especially during extremes in outdoor temperature. Window inserts create a snug barrier against outside temperatures, eliminating drafts and maintaining a consistent indoor climate. Whether you’re cozying up in winter or trying to stay cool in summer, window inserts can help.

Energy Savings

By reducing the amount of heat that escapes through your windows, inserts help your heating and cooling systems operate more efficiently. The result is a noticeable decrease in your energy bills. WindowDressers estimate that their inserts save people $15-$43 per window per year. At this rate inserts usually pay for themselves in 2-3 heating seasons.

Perfect for Older Homes and Double-Hung Windows

Older homes, with their charming yet often inefficient windows, benefit greatly from WindowDressers window inserts. These inserts provide a cost-effective way to enhance insulation without altering the historic character of your windows. For homes with double-hung windows — known for their classic appeal but prone to gaps and drafts — the custom fit of WindowDressers inserts ensures a tight seal.

Affordable for Everyone

Costs can be a barrier to making eco-friendly upgrades, which is why WindowDressers offers a special rate program. This initiative is designed to make their window inserts more affordable for those who might otherwise find them out of reach. By providing up to 10 pine inserts for free per year for those who qualify, the program ensures that more people can benefit from this energy-efficient solution without straining their budgets.
