Monsoon Alert: How To Waterproof Your Windows?
There is no doubt that the monsoon weather offers a welcome respite from the sweltering heat; the high humidity, heavy rainfall, and dampness can bring many problems. This is where water proof windows come into the game.
As this season approaches, it is very important to prepare your space, whether home or office, to withstand heavy rains and potential water damage. One of the most vulnerable areas that often gets overlooked is windows. Therefore, waterproofing them is a proactive measure that can easily save you costly repairs and protect your space from potential leaks.
Today, in this article, we’ll explore effective and helpful methods to ensure your windows are watertight and your space stays dry during the entire monsoon.
How to waterproof your windows?
Use these quick tips to protect your home during the monsoon so you, being the king of your space, can make the most of the dreamy weather without having to tackle costly repairs.
Inspect and Repair Accordingly
Before the rain begins, make sure that you carefully inspect all your windows for any existing damage or gaps. For example, it’s best to check for cracked caulking, damaged weather stripping, or gaps in the window frames. If, by any chance, you identify such issues, ensure that you address them immediately to prevent water infiltration.
Apply Film on the Window
Window Films are a good way to add an extra protection layer and water proof windows. These films are typically made of durable materials and provide an additional barrier against rainfall. They are pretty easy to apply and can be found in various styles, including clear films that won’t obstruct your view at any cost.
Upgrade Window Seals
For their unmatched durability and flexibility, silicone-based sealants are often recommended for windows and you should definitely go for them. Therefore, ensure that you remove any old sealant before applying the new one and pay special attention to the corners and edges of the windows, as these areas are more prone to leaks.
Utilize Water-Repellent Window Treatments
There are specific window treatments that are specially engineered to resist water. Opt to buy blind or water-resistant curtains crafted from materials such as vinyl or polyester. Now, for those who are not aware, these materials have a lower tendency to absorb water and can be effortlessly wiped dry.
Exterior Maintenance
Keep in mind to thoroughly examine the exterior of your space, focusing on areas surrounding the windows. Look out for any potential issues that might permit water infiltration.
Apart from these tips, to ensure the ongoing effectiveness of your waterproofing efforts, make sure that you follow a regular maintenance routine.
And when it comes to which windows to install, I’ll suggest a brand named ‘Eternia’, which offers Hindalco windows. Now, if you don’t know, Aditya Birla’s Hindalco is one of the world’s largest aluminium manufacturers.
Conclusion
Taking proactive measures to waterproof your windows is essential for safeguarding your home during the monsoon season. Regular inspections, repairs, and the use of appropriate materials will contribute to a watertight seal, keeping your home dry and comfortable.
By investing time and effort in window maintenance now, you can enjoy a worry-free monsoon season and ensure the longevity of your home’s structure.
