| My husband always took care of this type of issue, but now that he is gone, I am learning to deal with these.
I have read that magnetic weatherstripping is the best. Initially, I was considering only weatherstripping the outside doors, but an now thiking about the windows, too. So I have two questions: 1. In your opinions what is the best weatherstripping for doors? 2. And, what is the best weatherstripping for windows? I am not doing the installation myself; a handyman is going to do it. |
