How to Hang Holiday Window Decorations Easily and Safely

Hanging holiday window decorations is a delightful tradition that adds a festive touch to your home. However, it’s essential to do it safely and properly to avoid damaging your windows or risking personal injury. In this guide, Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City provides practical tips and tricks to make the process easy and safe. 

Choosing the Right Decorations

The first step in holiday window decorating is selecting the right ornaments. Consider their size and weight, and make sure they can withstand weather conditions if they are going to be placed on the outside of your windows. Light, compact decorations are usually the best choice. They’re less likely to put undue pressure on your windows or fall off and potentially cause damage or injury. Weather-resistant decorations will last longer and maintain their appearance throughout the holiday season.

Using the Correct Installation Techniques

When it comes to installation, opt for non-invasive hangers such as suction cups or adhesive hooks. These tools can securely hold your decorations without damaging your windows. Always double-check the weight limit on your hangers to make sure they can support your decorations. Moreover, remember to clean your windows before installing suction cups or adhesive hooks, as dirt and grime can reduce their holding power.

Maintaining Your Windows During the Holiday Season

Preserve the integrity of your windows as you decorate them. As much as possible, avoid installation techniques that could damage your windows, like drilling holes. Also, ensure your decorations don’t obstruct the windows’ operation. Overloading windows with heavy decorations can strain the window frames and glass. If you’re decorating exterior windows, make sure the decorations are secure so they won’t fly off in windy conditions and cause damage.
