Drafty windows? High heating bills? Would you like to have a warmer home and save money? WindowDressers can help! Our high quality, low cost insulating window inserts fit inside of your existing windows to let in all the sunlight and views while keeping more heat inside your home. Each insert installed saves an estimated 10 gallons of heating fuel per year, and installing them is a concrete way to do your part to help combat climate change.
Your local WindowDressers volunteer team in Bangor is accepting orders now for the fall Community Build season, which will be held at Unitarian Universalist Church at 120 Park Street from Oct. 25th through Nov. 1. Once you sign up, trained volunteers will schedule a time to
measure your windows for the custom-built inserts. Then you and other community volunteers will gather to build the inserts at the Community Build. Our unique “Community Build” model is like an old fashioned barn-raising. Everyone who orders inserts is expected to participate in the Community Build, where each person learns a simple step in an assembly process, with different jobs for a wide range of abilities and mobility levels. Community Builds are fun, community events that foster a spirit of volunteerism, participation, and connection.
For those who feel they cannot afford the cost of inserts, WindowDressers offers up to 10 inserts per year for no-cost. For others, the price is a fraction of the cost of similar commercial products. Pricing is based on the exact size of the insert, with inserts expected to pay for themselves within 1-2 heating seasons. To sign up for insulating window inserts, please go to the Windows Dressers website at https://windowdressers.org/sign-up-for-inserts/
The Rotary Club of Bangor Breakfast is coordinating this effort and would be glad to have you participate in this effort to serve our community by volunteering to work a shift to help make the inserts. You can sign up to volunteer via the WindowDressers website.
