Winterizing Your Building: Essential Maintenance Supplies and Tips

Winter is coming, and with it, commercial building managers and maintenance teams need to prepare their buildings for the harsh weather ahead. Winterizing your building is not just about comfort; it's about reducing costs, preventing damage, and ensuring safety. One Source Supply is here to guide you through the essential steps and supplies needed for winterizing your commercial building.

Insulating Your Building

The Importance of Proper Insulation

Ensuring proper insulation is one of the first steps in winterizing your building. This means checking and upgrading insulation in walls, roofs, windows, and doors. Proper insulation keeps the heat in and the cold out and significantly reduces heating costs.

Weather Stripping and Sealing Drafts

Weather stripping around doors and windows is an easy and cost-effective way to prevent heat loss. Check for drafts and replace any worn weather stripping. One Source Supply offers a variety of weather-stripping materials to fit different types of doors and windows, ensuring a snug and energy-efficient seal.

Pipe Insulation: A Must-Do for Winter
