WindowDressers Offers Insulating Window Inserts for Energy Savings and a Warmer Home
From press release
Drafty windows? High heating bills? Would you like to have a warmer home and save money? WindowDressers can help. Our high-quality, low-cost insulating window inserts fit inside of your existing windows to let in all the sunlight and views while keeping more heat inside your home. Each insert installed saves an estimated 8.5 gallons of heating fuel per year and installing them is a concrete way to do your part to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Join your neighbors in Hinesburg, Charlotte and Shelburne at a Community Build to complete inserts. Your local WindowDressers volunteer team is accepting orders now for the fall Community Build, which will be held at the Shelburne Town Hall Nov. 1-7. Once you sign up, trained volunteers will schedule a time to measure your windows for the custom-built inserts. Then you and other community volunteers will gather to build the inserts at the Community Build.
Our unique “Community Build” model is like an old-fashioned barn-raising. Everyone who orders inserts is expected to participate in the Community Build, where each person learns a simple step in an assembly process, with different jobs for a wide range of abilities and mobility levels. Community Builds are fun, community events that foster a spirit of volunteerism, participation and connection.
For those who feel they cannot afford the cost of inserts, WindowDressers offers up to 10 inserts per year for no-cost. For others, the price is a fraction of the cost of similar commercial products. Pricing is based on the exact size of the insert, with inserts expected to pay for themselves within 1-2 heating seasons. Learn more at windowdressers.org.
