When The Jacksonville Weather Gets Colder - And How To Insulate Your Windows Against It

This time of year, the weather gets colder in Jacksonville. And when the first energy bill of the season arrives, it’s time to find ways to cut it down. Insulating your windows is a great way to save energy throughout the cooler temperatures of winter.

Learn about these three ways you can insulate your windows in preparation for the colder weather in Jacksonville, FL.

Traditional Sealing Kits

Weatherproofing kits are a familiar sight in grocery stores in the Jacksonville area. These sealing kits include step-by-step information on where to stick the tape, the amount of film to cut, and the best way to shrink the film. This cuts down on drafts and heat loss.

However more and more homeowners shy away from this method when there’s a number of windows to cover. And insulating a window with shrink film means you can’t open it until spring. If these are concerns for you, insulating window treatments, including Polywood® shutters and Solar Gard® window film, are a a more favorable choice.

Polywood Shutters

Crafted from premium polymer material, Polywood shutters are the most energy efficient window treatment money can buy in the Jacksonville area. They insulate 70% better than a similar wood shutter, and 1600% better than an aluminum blind. Polywood blocks airflow by up to 45% and blocks temperature by 30°.

The louver material, the shutter frame, and the weather stripping make Polywood shutters the top option for insulating your home.

Solar Gard Window Film

Apply Solar Gard window film to glass windows year round. It has no impact on your window’s appearance, unlike insulating kits. And a fantastic feature of Solar Gard is the ability to open the window whenever you wish because the film is limited to the glass area, and not the frame.

Solar Gard is particularly beneficial during Jacksonville’s cooler seasons because it reduces heat transfer through the glass. This way, the cooler air doesn’t enter and the heat of the room doesn’t leave.
