The fail usually stems from improper installation, poor sealing, or using low-quality materials. The Fix: For minor issues, applying weatherstripping and caulk around the frame can eliminate drafts. In severe cases, windows may need to be reinstalled with proper flashing and insulation foam. Damaged panes or seals should be replaced entirely to restore energy efficiency. Prevention: Always ensure that window openings are properly squared and that moisture barriers are installed. Using double- or triple-pane energy-efficient windows also reduces long-term problems. Professional installation often pays off in reduced heating and cooling costs. In conclusion, fixing drafty windows improves comfort and saves energy. Attention to detail during installation prevents costly issues later. ![1000522594](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/5/5f788c5a08d35564dd6ed53dc71202f046382aa2.jpeg) ---
