drafty windows
Gaps let air
Windows that allow cold air to seep in around their frames, creating unwanted airflow indoors.
The phrase typically describes older or poorly sealed windows: The drafty windows made the bedroom impossible to heat.
Fixing drafty windows—with weatherstripping, caulk, or replacement—is a common home improvement project.
