When The Baltimore Weather Cools Down - And How To Insulate Your Windows Against It

During these winter months, the weather cools in Baltimore. And when the first energy bill of the season arrives, you’ll want some tips on how to reduce it. Insulating your windows is a great way to save energy in the season’s colder climate.

Explore these three ways you can insulate your windows against the cooling temperatures in MD.

Traditional Sealing Kits

Weatherproofing kits are a familiar sight in home improvement stores in the Baltimore area. They include instructions on where to place the tape, the length of film to cut, and how to shrink the film with a blowdryer. This decreases heat loss from drafts.

However some homeowners shy away from this method if there are a number of windows to cover. And when you insulate a window with shrink film, it seals off any access to the window until the spring season. If these are challenges for you, insulating window treatments, like Polywood® shutters and Solar Gard® window film, are a preferred solution.

Polywood Shutters

Crafted from premium polymer material, Polywood shutters are the most energy efficient window treatment available in the Baltimore area. They insulate 70% better than a similar wood shutter, and 1600% better than an aluminum blind. Polywood decreases airflow by up to 45% and reduces the effects of temperature by 30°.

The weather stripping, the shutter frame, and the louver material make Polywood shutters the top solution for insulating your windows.

Solar Gard Window Film

Solar Gard is a premium window film you can apply to glass windows year round. It does not affect your window’s look, unlike insulating kits. And the thing people love about Solar Gard is the option to open the window whenever you wish. That’s because the film doesn’t stretch over the window frame.

Solar Gard is particularly helpful during Baltimore’s colder months because it reduces heat transfer through the glass. Now the cool air remains out and the warmth of the room remains in the room.
