Sealed against elements
Weatherized describes something that has been modified to withstand weather conditions or improve energy efficiency.
A weatherized home has added insulation, sealed windows, or other improvements to reduce heat loss and drafts.
The term applies mainly to buildings prepared for cold climates: The apartment was weatherized before winter.
