You’re invited to participate in a “Community Build” of insulating window inserts, starting on November 2. Sustainable Charlotte VT works with the non-profit organization Window Dressers to bring custom-built insulating window inserts to homes in and around Charlotte.  These window inserts made of wood frames with foam gaskets and a double thickness of clear plastic film will reduce drafts, save money and energy, and still allow the sunshine through!  Depending on the efficiency of the windows and home, the resident could reduce their dependence on fossil fuels and see fuel savings of up to 20% with inserts in place.

When someone signs up to participate, one of our volunteer measuring teams will visit the home to take precise measurements so we can order the materials for the inserts. 

When the materials arrive, we’ll have a community build/assembly workshop, and will work together to build your inserts.  These workshops are fun events, with the feel of a community barn-raising – come join us!  Assembly is easy and many hands make light work. No carpentry skills are required. Register here. A calendar will appear to show you what days and times are available.
