A typical household spends $2,000 or more per year on their home energy bills. Much of that money may be wasted if it leaks out through gaps in wooden sash windows and doors. You can save an average of 7.5% on your fuel bills by fixing air leaks with weatherstripping. On average, weatherstripping pays for itself in 1 – 3 years.
Many people believe older wood windows and doors can’t be fixed and should be replaced with modern insulated versions to stop air loss and regain energy efficiency. THAT’S NOT TRUE! Weatherstripping for windows and doors can reduce heating and cooling costs by as much as 30% while reducing uncomfortable drafts and keeping noise out. Well-maintained wood windows with quality weatherstripping are absolutely competitive with modern counterparts.
When Accurate Metal Interlocking Weatherstrip Company decided to close their doors in 2019, Marc Bagala of Bagala Window Works couldn’t let access to these products just fade away. He decided to purchase their iconic and trusted machines to continue to manufacture this superior quality weatherstripping in his own company. The Accurate company had played a major role in Marc’s start as a contractor and the success of his business. He knew he had to continue making the products that the Kammerer family had started over 100 years ago.
