FAQs
Wood expands in humidity and contracts in dry conditions, causing sticking.
✔ Hold a candle near the window edges—if the flame flickers, there’s a draft.
✔ Look for double-glazed or Low-E windows for better insulation.
Gaps in sealing or worn-out weatherstripping allow air to pass through.
A broken seal allows moisture to enter, reducing insulation efficiency.
Hinges may be rusty, loose, or need lubrication.
