Does Your Home Feel Drafty Even With the Windows Closed?

Yes, a home can feel drafty even when the windows are closed. Drafts are not always caused by wide-open gaps between a window and its frame. More often, they result from subtle seal failures, shifting frames, or outdated window construction. While older exterior doors can sometimes contribute to air leakage, windows are typically the primary source of air leakage when indoor spaces feel consistently cool or uneven.

A drafty window is when air leaks in or out of your home, usually through an opening of your window that should otherwise be airtight. Drafty windows can be a nuisance for homeowners as they will make your home less comfortable and can increase utility bill costs. As cold weather makes its way into Georgia, you’ll want to ensure that your windows do not have a draft.
