Why Are My Vinyl Windows Drafty?
Vinyl windows are incredibly popular because they offer many benefits for an affordable price, but that doesn’t mean they’re perfect. Have your home windows been giving you some trouble as of late? Perhaps some rooms are colder than others, and your energy bills are soaring? In this article, you’ll learn what causes drafty vinyl windows and how you can solve the problem for good.
What Causes Drafty Windows?
The first and most obvious cause of drafts is a window that’s not closed properly. But what if you’ve double- and triple-checked your windows, you know they’re tightly closed and locked, and you’re still experiencing drafts? Here are some reasons your vinyl windows may be drafty:
- Flawed window installation – It could be that the windows weren’t fitted correctly, or perhaps they weren’t thoroughly caulked around the edge to seal up gaps.
- Warped frames – Most windows will expand and contract slightly as outdoor temperatures rise and fall. Occasionally, this leads to permanent warping which can affect the way the window sits and cause gaps and cracks.
- Failing seal – Even if windows were properly sealed when they were installed, the seal may eventually fail because of normal wear over time, exposure to extreme weather conditions, or because the window was made with cheap materials.
The Solution for Drafty Windows
If have trouble opening and closing your windows, or they seem to be drafty no matter what you do, it could be that resealing them will fix the issue—but it may just be time to replace them.

My husband and I recently had all new windows installed around our 1970's home. What attracted us to All Seasons was that all their window work is done in house including sales, manufacturing, installation and warranty. You're not dealing with a franchise where warranty work or repairs involve sub-contacting another business. Our sales lady, Amber, was prompt, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Installation was quickly and efficiently done without leaving an ounce of debris. We highly recommend All Seasons for all your window needs.
