Draught-proofing your home could help to keep your home warmer and save you money on your energy bills. Here are our top tips for draught-proofing your home.
It goes without saying that a draughty home isn’t pleasant for anyone, but it could be costing you money. Draughts in your home are often a sign of gaps in your home meaning that your central heating system will have to work twice as hard to keep your home warm and making your home far less energy-efficient than it should be. This means that simply put, you could be wasting your money on energy bills with something that could be a quick fix.
When draught-proofing your home, you can either pay a professional to do the job or if you are looking for a more cost-effective method of draught-proofing your home, you could tackle this yourself if you enjoy a little DIY.
One main area where heat could be escaping from your home is through your external- opening doorways. Over time the seals around your doors could wear away or be damaged and this could cause draughts to enter through the gaps around your door. By adding draught-excluding brush strips to the area around your door you will be sealing against the cold weather from outside whilst keeping heat from your home inside. You can also use brush strips to line your letter box to avoid draughts through that area.
Loft hatches are a potentially huge draught spot, so brush strips around the opening is also another quick, effective solution. Your can install from our standard brush strip range or a flexible brush.
Protecting your home against draughts can make your home much more energy efficient and help bring down your energy bills in the long run. Identify the potential gaps around your home and let us help you find the right brush strips.
