Last winter, I swear I could feel cold air sneaking in around my windows even though they're supposed to be double-glazed. Got some insulating blinds and weather strips recently, and it's actually made a difference. Anyone else dealt with drafty windows like this?

Glad to hear you found something that works. Had the same issue myself a couple years backβdouble-glazed windows aren't always the magic fix they're marketed as, unfortunately. I remember sitting in my living room feeling that sneaky cold draft around my ankles, drove me nuts. Weather stripping helped a lot, but honestly, the game changer for me was sealing up the gaps with caulk around the window frames. You'd be surprised how much air slips through those tiny cracks. Took maybe an afternoon to do all the windows, and the difference was night and day. Plus, it's cheap and easy enough to DIY without any special skills or tools. Definitely worth giving it a shot if you still feel any drafts creeping in.
Interesting, didn't realize caulking could make such a noticeable difference. Did you have to remove the old caulk first, or just go right over it? I'm new to this stuff, so trying to avoid rookie mistakes...
