Ideas for drafty bay window  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I wonder if anyone can think of a solution for me...

Our living room has a bay window in it (one large, fixed pane in the center and an openable Andersen-style window on each side). I have regular window blinds on each part of the window (so 3 in total) that sit on the inside of the frame. I also have a net/voile curtain that hangs on the wall above the window, covering the opening.

The problem is that the wind fairly whistles in around this window. Sometimes I can actually see the curtains moving!! There is no visble gap or anything that my handy Husband could fix, but this time of year it is freezing cold to sit in the chair by the window and get the draft on you.

Does anyone have any ideas about what I could do? Photos are here if it helps..

Thanks!

Hang a pretty quilt or set of quilts over it?
Use that plastic window covering insulation stuff you wouldn't see it behind the curtain.

your link keeps freezing up my computer. I had great luck with the plastic stuff, though I've never done it with a bay window, but since you cover the front with a curtain I would just cover it at the wall. Otherwise you'll have to take down the blinds and it can really be a PITA.
