Window Caulking
• Caulking Window Interiors for Aesthetics
• On many windows, caulking between glass panes provides a
classic appearance--and yet it is largely unnecessary. The caulk
between the glass and the frame looks good and provides the
illusion of warmth, but it does nothing to keep out wind, rain, or
drafts. Because most windows fit tightly together, there is no
need for caulk. If you want the aesthetic effect the service
provides, you can simply add painter's caulk to your windows.
• Special Concerns for Replacement Windows
• Caulking for a replacement window is optional because they are
typically well-sealed from within. To ensure this, they do need
to be sealed around the frame where the window fits the wall
opening. While windows do come in standard sizes, the original
opening was cut for another window. Making sure that the caulk
properly fills the empty space is vital for the health of your
home.
