When The Bakersfield Weather Cools Down - And The Ways You Can Insulate Your Windows Against It
Every year around this time, the weather gets colder in Bakersfield. And when you get the first utility statement of the season, you’ll want some tips on how to scale it down. Insulating your windows is a great way to save energy during the cooler temperatures of winter.
Discover these three ways you can insulate your windows for the upcoming drop in temperature in Bakersfield, CA.
Traditional Sealing Kits
Weatherproofing kits are a familiar sight in hardware stores in the Bakersfield area. Store-bought sealing kits come with a guide on where to place the tape, the length of film to cut, and how to shrink the film with a blowdryer. This cuts down on heat loss from drafts.
But more and more homeowners shy away from this method if there are a number of windows to weatherproof. And when you apply shrink film to a window, this means the window is closed until spring. If these are challenges for you, insulating window treatments, such as Polywood® shutters and Solar Gard® window film, are a a more favorable solution.
Polywood Shutters
Crafted from premium polymer material, Polywood shutters are the most energy efficient window treatment money can buy in the Bakersfield area. They block the effects of the weather 70% better than a similar wood shutter, and 1600% better than an aluminum blind. Polywood decreases airflow by up to 45% and deflects temperature by 30°.
The shutter frame, the louver material, and the weather stripping are what makes Polywood shutters the top option for insulating your house.
Solar Gard Window Film
You can apply the premium window film, Solar Gard, to the window pane all year. It does not affect your window’s appearance, unlike insulating kits. And the best part of Solar Gard is the ability to open the window any time you want. That’s because the film doesn’t stretch over the window frame.
Solar Gard is particularly helpful during Bakersfield winters because it reduces heat transfer through the window’s glass. Now the chill air stays out and the warmer temperature of the room stays...well...in the room.
