Towns, nonprofit teaming up on window inserts

WINDHAM - The Wardsboro, Londonderry, and Windham energy committees have teamed up with the nonprofit organization Window Dressers to offer  insulating window inserts at a community build on Friday, November 17, to Tuesday, November 21, at the Windham Meeting House.
During the first week of August, volunteer team members attended a Window Dressers training at the Guilford Town Offices to become measurers for the build. This means that volunteers are ready to start scheduling and performing window-measuring visits.
The inserts are built of attractive pine frames and wrapped drum-tight with a durable plastic film to create clear views through an insulating air space. Foam weather stripping around the outer edges stops drafts and aids the insert’s tight, custom fit. The inserts are installed from the inside and are held in place by friction. Depending on the efficiency of  their windows and home, homeowners could see fuel savings of up to 20% with inserts in place.
Pricing is based on size and finish - natural pine or white. A medium-size 30 inches by 52 inches insert in pine costs $39 plus tax and inserts in white cost $50 plus tax. Qualifying households are offered up to 10 pine window inserts at no charge.
Everyone receiving inserts is asked to participate in some form in the community build. No special skills required.
Those who are interested in scheduling a volunteer to measure their windows, ordering window inserts, and participating in the build, or have questions may sign up at https://windowdressers.org/sign-up-for-inserts, email wardsboroeergycommittee@gmail.com or call (802) 896-9907.
