About Window Dressers Custom Window Inserts for Winter Savings
Window Dressers is a New England program with a unique model to manufacture insulating window inserts that let in light while stopping drafts. Each insert is a custom-made pine frame wrapped on each side with tightly-sealed, clear polyolefin film, creating an airspace between the two layers for additional insulation. The insert is finished with a compressible foam gasket. The foam allows enough give for the inserts to be easily slid into place in the fall and removed in the spring, while holding firmly enough to provide a tight, friction-based seal over many years of service. The inserts are installed inside your existing window frame with no fasteners required.
The inserts are free for those who cannot afford to pay, and low cost for middle- and high-income households. Typical cost to a homeowner is 50%-75% less expensive than commercial products. Each insert is made to custom measurements for your windows, no matter the age of your building or size of your windows. A Window Dressers expert will measure your windows, making it as simple as possible for you.
