What You’ll Need
- Window seals or gaskets
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Soap and water solution
- Lint-free cloth
- Adhesive
- Utility knife
Step 1: Measure Your Windows
Start by measuring the dimensions of your windows so you can purchase the correct size of gaskets. Measure the width and height of each window frame and write down the measurements.
Step 2: Clean the Window Frame
Before installing the gaskets, clean the window frame using a soap and water solution. Remove any dirt, dust, or residue that could hinder proper adhesion of the gaskets. Dry the frame thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
Step 3: Cut the Gaskets
Take the window seals or gaskets and cut them to the measured dimensions from step 1 using a pair of scissors. Make sure to cut precise and clean edges for a professional look.
Step 4: Apply Adhesive
To attach the gaskets, apply adhesive to the outer edges of the window frame using a small brush or nozzle to ensure precise application. Be careful not to apply too much adhesive, as it could make cleanup difficult.
Step 5: Install the Gaskets
Press the cut gaskets gently but firmly onto the adhesive, starting from one corner and working your way around the frame. Apply consistent pressure to ensure the gaskets adhere properly to the window frame. Trim any excess gasket material using a utility knife.
Step 6: Test the Seal
Once the gaskets are installed, close the window and check for any gaps or spaces where air could still enter. If you notice any areas with poor sealing, apply additional adhesive and press the gasket firmly onto the frame.
Step 7: Repeat for Other Windows
Follow the same steps to install gaskets on all your windows. Take your time with each window to ensure a proper and effective seal.
Enjoy Energy Savings and Improved Comfort
