Replace with rubber, silicone, or metal strips for lasting performance.
Use acrylic-latex exterior caulking to seal any air leaks before cold weather sets in.
Apply on dry days above 5°C for best adhesion.
Keep tracks and drainage points clear to avoid water buildup.
Checklist:
Storm windows provide a buffer against heat loss. Ensure a snug, insulated fit or confirm your double/triple-pane units are fully sealed.
Humidity indoors meets cold glass, causing condensation.
Solutions:
Ice on the interior of windows signals insulation failure or drafts. You may need to reseal or consider window replacement.
Winter snow mixed with road salt can splash and corrode lower windows.
Wipe salt away quickly to avoid frame damage and staining.
