Besides, it may invite bugs and make it their breeding ground. You can weather-strip your windows by the help of a professional if you don’t know how to do it.
You can choose a number of sealing options depending upon the climate you live in. You may choose a vinyl storm window that has two sealed layers if glass and is good for any climate.
