How to seal windows in new home?

1000007304.jpg

 

Hey team

 

I've notice after living in my newly constructed house after a year + that most windows have gaps between the frame and custom wood window frame. Should I seal these? Would this stop any draft coming in?

Hi @amichaelmedia,

 

It would be a relatively simple job to fill them with silicone. There might not be any draft able to enter through the gaps, but it certainly wouldn't hurt; every little bit helps.

 

Here is a helpful guide: How to apply silicone sealant.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
