Window seal tape offers Houston homeowners a temporary solution for leaking or drafty windows, but understanding its limitations and proper application is essential for effective results.
Window seal tape provides short-term benefits including reduced drafts, temporary leak prevention, lower energy costs, decreased outside noise, and quick installation. However, these benefits typically last only 3-6 months in Houston’s harsh climate.
Professional window sealing differs significantly through permanent material applications, comprehensive leak source identification, proper substrate preparation, and techniques that address underlying causes rather than symptoms. These approaches provide lasting solutions.
While temporary tape might help in emergencies, Houston homeowners seeking permanent solutions should contact Windows and Doors Repair for professional window sealing services that address the root causes of window seal failures.
Understanding when temporary fixes are appropriate versus when professional repairs are needed helps homeowners make cost-effective decisions for both immediate needs and long-term window performance.
