        "text": "Window casing primarily functions as an interior finish, but properly installed casing paired with backer rod and low-expansion insulating foam significantly reduces indoor drafts. When old casing is removed, finish contractors often find uninsulated gaps between the window jamb and rough stud framing. Filling these cavities with non-expanding foam insulation before nailing the casing in place blocks air leaks and prevents outdoor temperature transfer. Caulking the trim against the drywall provides a secondary seal that keeps conditioned air inside your living space.",
