5 Simple Tools To Keep The Cold Out During Winter

I don’t know about you, but I am not made to handle the cold weather. Some people can handle it better than others, but I certainly can’t get used to the cold weather in the North having spent a while in Florida. The good news about the cold weather is the fact that you can turn your heater on and get your rooms’ temperature to the level that is suitable for you. Of course, you can have the best heating system in the world, but if you have not taken the time to seal off your doors and windows, you are wasting energy and money.

Thankfully, there are simple tools that can help you seal your doors and windows off, and you don’t have to spend a fortune to get them. Taking advantage of these tools can save you money and help conserve energy. If that sounds good to you, here are 5 tools you should consider:

Gaiam Draft Dodger: stuffed with insulating poly fibers, Draft Dodget keeps the cold out in those bad winter nights, so you won’t have to turn your heater up all the way.

Door and Window Draft Stopper: stuffed with styrene pellets and polyester fiberfill, it not only keeps the cold out, but it’s washable and durable too. Works with all kinds of doors.

Colonial Draft Stopper: a very affordable solution for those who want to block out wind and snow from getting in their houses. Very easy to get it on a door.

Twin Draft Guard: if you have watched TV lately, you have probably seen the commercial for this product. It essentially goes under your door and doesn’t interfere with it, while keeping the cold out.

M-D Building Products 2253 High Density Foam Tape: a waterproof, dustproof and airtight closed-cell foam tape that weatherproofs your doors and windows and saves you energy too.
