But that was thirty some years ago with single pane windows in a house that was built in the early 1900's.<BR/><BR/>This house is only 12 years old. And I'm afraid it isn't just condensation. The windows don't pull closed and lock like they are supposed to and that makes them huge energy leakers in both the summer and the winter.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate Randy Sedlock (Pella Correspondence Specialist) contacting me and we will look forward to any suggestions Pella makes. But I have to admit, I don't hold out much hope short of replacing them, and that is simply not in our budget right now.<BR/><BR/>Nonetheles, I'll keep you all posted with an update later.Raise Them Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15131235222116977410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591469651266661841.post-1882783126986398742009-01-27T19:48:00.000-05:002009-01-27T19:48:00.000-05:00I have an old house with old windows, and mine loo...I have an old house with old windows, and mine look exactly like yours.

I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that the sheets wouldn't come large enough. And second, with this being the boys play room and things sometimes getting wild and crazy (gasp), the chances of the plastic not getting torn or shredded are pretty slim. But maybe they are tougher than I'm thinking. <BR/><BR/>I'll look for them in Lowes and see what I find.

They come in a box and you attach them to the window with double sided tape(provided) then you use a hair dryer to shrink wrap it to the window. We used them in Alaska and it definately kept out the draft!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
