Draft prevention refers to strategies and practices aimed at reducing the likelihood of drafts in buildings. Drafts occur when cold air enters through gaps or cracks in windows, doors, and walls, leading to discomfort and increased energy costs. Effective draft prevention can involve sealing these gaps with materials like caulk or weatherstripping, ensuring proper insulation, and using door sweeps. In addition to improving comfort, draft prevention contributes to energy efficiency. By minimizing heat loss during colder months, homeowners can lower their heating bills and reduce the environmental impact associated with energy consumption. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify potential draft sources.
