Drafts

All the windows are shut, but there’s still an annoying draft! What do I do? A lot of times, what causes a draft isn’t necessarily air coming in through the cracks around the window, although it may be that, too. The draft is often caused by the constant motion of the air in your home when warm air mixes with cold air. The warm air goes up while the cold air goes down, causing a constant motion of the air, and therefore a draft. This happens all year, either your heater is on battling the cold, or your air conditioner is on to battle the heat. But Castle Window Covers keep the temperature in your home virtually the same all year long, so those annoying drafts go away!

The magnetic seal is the secret to eliminating drafts.

Any window that can open has a crack space. This crack space allows a window to move without too much resistance. The crack space also allows air to seep into or out of your house. If you add up the crack space around each window, it can be equal in area to the size of a baseball! This can be responsible for up to 2/3 of the energy loss through your window.

Drafts also occur from the circular motion of warm air hitting a cold window and recirculating. The air cools, falls, and is forced out to the middle of the room, where it warms, rises and makes its way to the cold window again.Castle Window Covers overcome this problem by using the optical grade acrylic glazing and the magnetic window seals. The magnetic seal minimizes the air infiltration making it as low as possible in a fully functional window.
