Window and door drafts:
do you check them?

With energy prices higher than ever and no end to the energy crisis in sight, many of us are looking for ways to make our homes more energy efficient. 

How to check doors and windows for drafts

One of the main areas of your home is your doors and windows; warm air escapes and lets cold air in, so its worth checking if window and door drafts are entering your home. Simply hold your hand in front of the gaps around your doors and windows and see if you can feel air coming through the gaps, you may need to invest in some replacement seals. You may also have draughts coming in through your letterbox. Letter box seals can help to reduce this.

If you cannot afford to replace the doors and windows, but you can feel cold air coming in, then spend the time researching the right seals for you now before we get to those winter months, and it becomes an essential job. Some simple planning, maintenance/DIY can prevent excessive energy bills next winter so act now.

Formseal offers a range of products suitable for all environments, including industrial, commercial and domestic. Even if you do this simple check of your windows and doors, we hope this will prompt you to look into draught-proofing your home ready for the winter!
