How should I weatherstrip my windows? Thx for your suggestions.

I am not very handy.  So I am not sure if I am doing the right thing.  If you could let me know, I would really appreciate it.

I went to HD and asked the people there about weatherstripping my windows.  I have a few huge windows.  A nice lady at HD suggested using weather seal tape on window trims.  So I got weather seal tape and taped the white drywall connecting to the glass (as shown in the picture).  I only used a few inches of tape as in the picture, since I am just trying to show you what i am doing.  I think I am supposed to tape all the edges.  I don't know what to call the white wall connecting to the glass.  I am using the word "drywall".  Is that window trim?

I also got Frost King plastic sheets.  That seems to be the only brand at HD.  I am going to cover the windows with the sheets after I tape the edges of the window. 

This is my first time weatherstripping my windows.  As you can see, I am very inexperienced.  So thanks in advance for your suggestions

• 玻璃肯定会冰冷的，但不是漏风造成的。厚窗帘有给房子保温效果。 -姜小鱼- ♂ (0 bytes) () 11/18/2015 postreply 15:08:32

• 那就没关系，换个厚窗帘，效果很不一样，我住东部的时候试过。 -美洛狄- ♀ (0 bytes) () 11/18/2015 postreply 15:39:10

• 现在好的窗有3层，普通的是2层， 年长可能抽真空失效，保温效果会差。 放一层窗帘会好很多，但是离的近还是会感到冷。 -greenonion- ♀ (224 bytes) () 11/18/2015 postreply 15:34:57
