Caulking A Window

Michael Holigan: It's a good idea to caulk around your windows inside and outside about once every six (6) months. This is going to prevent air from infiltrating around the windows. And that's a big problem, especially in the winter time. If you ever sit around watching TV and your feet get real cold, that's because the cool air is coming in around the windows and it goes down to the floor because it's heavier than warm air. So you have to go get a blanket or put your feet up. It's much easier to just once every six (6) months caulk around the windows and you're not going to have a problem. This window does have one problem and that's there's moisture in between the two panes. That means one of the seals has popped. You need to call the window company. Most windows have a five (5) year warranty. They'll come out, take car of your seals.
