Tips On Window Decoration & Dressing!

by Sandy Jarvis
(Montreal, Canada)

What most of us do not realize is that our windows can allow a lot of air to escape, especially larger ones.

One way that you can take energy use seriously is to ensure that the way that you decorate your windows is the best way to keep energy in.

The more layers of protection on something that is drafty or even good windows, the more air will stay out.

For example, if it is possible, install shutters on your windows for the winter months and use them.

Close in the windows especially on very cold days or very windy days. This will keep the cold from getting in.

But, inside your home, you can even more layers of protection to take into consideration.

First off, if you have blinds on your windows, make sure that those blinds are lying flat and that they cover the entire window.

In addition, the shades that you use should be pulled all the way down.

Finally, decorate your windows with drapes and curtains that are lined.

These are a bit more in cost than other drapes, but they provide a great deal of energy protection to those in need.

This is a great tip for those that are looking for ways to easily save money.

A heavy drape covering the window can help you to save countless dollars in energy costs all winter.

Paying attention to your windows will allow you to save a great deal of money.

Repair any problems that you may have as soon as possible.
