Window Sealing Tape for Heating?

So my client is a contractor as well....

Of course he therefore expects me as a PM, to be his subcontractor too....

Anyway, his property's windows are getting a lot of air coming through....

He tells me there is window "sealing tape" at home depot???

Anybody know of anything like this? How to apply it, etc??

Thanks,

AK

If it is just leaking at the bottom you can apply a window weather stripping or you can apply a plastic over the whole window. The weather stripping is just a peal and stick. To install the window plastic you must use the included two sided tape around the perimeter of the window and then stick the plastic to it. Then you use a hair dryer to shrink the plastic down to get all the wrinkles out. Both are just bandaids. I would recommend he install some pocket replacement window.
