Winter is the season of giving as well as the time when we invite our loved ones into our homes. Making everyone comfortable can be hard if your house is a little colder than you’d like though, so why not try draught-proof it while you look for a more permanent solution? Here are a few simple ways to draught-proof — some of which will also make for wonderful gift ideas!
Don’t let draught darken your door or window!
You can insulate your door in many ways. Brushes are a good idea: you can fit some along the bottom door edge as well as in your letterbox. You can also buy some door or window draught excluders as a gift to yourself or your loved one. If you’d like a cute solution, there are many adorable draught excluders to prevent cold air coming through. Interested? You can learn more about draught-proofing here.
Rugs, mats and underfloor options
Fluffy rugs and bathroom mats are a great way to keep your feet toasty. You can also fit an insulating underlayer underneath your carpets and take your first step towards underfloor insulation which helps to keep your guests cosy.
All-over solutions
Although these solutions are great short-term fixes, you will ultimately need a more comprehensive strategy to keep your house warm and your energy costs down. There are a lot of home energy solutions and not all of them take a lot of time to install! Roof or loft insulation is only a matter of a few hours.
