How to install window weatherstripping

Windows let in a lot of light, saving money on your light bill. During the winter, they can also let in a lot of cold air, raising your utility bill. Weather stripping wiz, Dave Mars, shows how weatherizing your windows can lead to lower utility bills.

[@bubblegumboobs]

Yes! I was mesmerized by his voice alone!

[@snackymcadams]

I just spent the morning watching winterizing my apartment, and this by far is the most informative and easy to understand. Thanks!

[@trankt54155]

Use WHITE caulk so you would not regret later....

[@bdbinder]

This video was very well done. Thanks, Dave. Anyone complaining or making negative comments should really consider growing up...

[@Supergirl5551]

Best tutorial I've found on TH-cam, thanks for the information! I had no idea how to weather strip my window and they need it bad

[@storytellers6367]

straight to the point, very simple and effective advice with quick easy tutorials that allows a viewer to understand exactly what needs to be done. You da bomb

[@aqua8118]

This excellent video shared a lot of information in 5 minutes. The flow of the presentation made it easy for me to undrerstand. It helped me a lot to figure out how to winterize my windows. Congratulatoins to Dave Mars.

[@leighannwoody545]

I live in SW Missouri and I enjoy your videos! I have followed your instructions and have winterized all 11 windows in my little house. Thanks for sharing these videos for us! Have a great day! :)

[@gilleous]

Very helpful and excellent presentation. The presenter has great camera presence!

[@MasteringHow-To]

Got a nice speaking voice. Calm and well spoken. I enjoy watching your videos.

[@candygraalzone2487]

Love this. Im a new home owner at 23 years old and i hated using my heater alot.

[@psychobunny32]

if you live in the South, avoid the rubber weatherstripping. It starts to melt in the 100+ degree summer and will seal the window shut.

[@notchamama7571]

Yikes! Thanks for the tip!

[@eddieNcarrillo]

Very helpful. Thanks for showing a variety of ways to weatherstrip.

[@BiffDangles]

Rope Caulk!!! Now that I know this is a thing i'm going to the store. Thanks for the info!

[@gailea1]

Thanks for your very useful tip about WARMING the ROPE CAULK before use! (3:00). Warm, the stuff works like a charm. Also, I had not heard about Zip-A-Way before. It's a removable clear weather stripping you apply with a caulking gun.

[@22utoo]

Now that's how you do a weatherstripping for windows video. Very complete, thanks Dave.

[@majo2469]

Outstanding Video! A lot of information presented amazingly well in under 5 minutes. Thanks for sharing!

[@Teresa-fanofrockandcomedy]

I didn't know about zip-a-way. Thank you. I came in for the rubber stripping. I have the rope caulk but didn't use it last year.

[@tim8468]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@sherylnapier6020]

Thanks so much. Had never heard of peel-a-way caulk.

[@Brownmrocks]

[@NikNik0123]

Thank you!

[@GRILLBUOY101]

good deal thanks my windows are leaking big time

[@1010juanita]

Thanks 😊

[@leoneleighton8370]

When you put the removable calking along the sides of the window inside your house or use rope calking, must you remove it in the summer? How easy is it to do that?

[@SahilMalik]

Is there a solution like rope caulk, but allows the windows to open and close? I am trying to figure out the best way to weather seal the sides of sliding windows.

[@Yo-cr9ol]

Hi! If you're still considering options, perhaps something like a V-Seal?

[@Beckyme]

Ok, so my take away, fluff the seal around the window. I did and unflattened /respring the rubber at the bottom. Worth a shot? Yes. It worked. I don't feel cold air in the middle. I will check back in a couple weeks and I will get the removable sealant weather stripping.

[@2ne1usa]

very interesting

[@trankt54155]

Clear caulking is nice at the beginning, especially with the paintable one, and then 1-2 years down the road they collect tons of dirt, hair and everything you can think off and leaves a strip of debris that looks terrible...

[@luc917]

what if window leaks where top and bottom meet & lock? rope caulk or removable weather stripping, how do you fix that perm?

[@tartgreenapple]

It's Sam Elliot! ;)

[@npast1]

No, it's Wade Garrett!

[@LaoSoftware]

@cabernetvine I like this guy. He's a natural comedian.

[@itoboreodje2949]

What should I do I I suspect the draft if coming from the middle of a double pane window?

[@shortstorybiatch]

nice!

[@MrHammGutsnGlory]

what is used to seal the window that opens and between the non opening window? Horizontally'

[@mediawerks2183]

I get a Fawlty Towersy vibe. "Manuel!"

[@liquid79]

The music kicks ass!

[@aknadiri2520]

nise!

[@nancydrew5]

Didn't know Sam Elliott was a handy guy.

[@Amirnake]

In russia we weather strip with brick

[@andreafelton689]

4:00 Easy to remove double sticky tape later? Doubt it

[@user-rg5oc2jk4o]

What kind of caulk?

[@ramgator123]

Coors light guy?

[@finnibat]

Wait, so are you saying that the only way to seal the side of a sliding windows is to glue it shut?
Doesn't that defeat the whole point of the windows? Why don't we just have swinging windows like the rest of the world...

[@MaruyaSAg]

At 2:54, you pointed out the space in the middle where the two sashes meet but you didn't show how to cover that space.

[@kittyhawk7060]

Yes, he did. It's called roof caulk and he talks about it immediately after he shows the area you are talking about.

[@Kamidon74]

Sam Elliott has a twin?

[@dhuman1]

I don"t want to seal my windows shut!!!!!!!!!!

[@shannonjoy77]

I believe that is why he uses zipaway caulk to remove it to be able to open windows.

[@alexxasmom1825]

Jesus guy fucking do it already

[@Tocimah]

whoever is filming ---you can't see s++t.

[@andreafelton689]

No music and background please 🙉👎

[@andreafelton689]

Dumb. Then can't open the window

[@rgdouglas9016]

Horrible...didn't address gap between upper immovable window and lower window which needs to be opened and shut
