Whether your home or property is old or new, there will probably be some points in the outer structure where cold air can enter and hot air can escape.
Draught proofing is a method used along with other insulating measures to make sure all these draft zones are effectively sealed up. This will reduce the amount of heat that escapes from a building skin and as a result, great savings are made to the environment and on your bills. The drafts can be around window frames, under doors, through letterboxes or through the floor. Up to 10% of a home’s heating bill can be wasted through draughts, blowing cold air around a home and letting warm air escape.
The government provides grants for draught proofing, which means that it can be implemented at a very low cost. Plastic strips are fitted to all windows and outside doors, and interior doors have plastic strips fitted to the top and sides, with a brush at the bottom. This prevents cold air from flowing around the home, and means that empty rooms don’t need to be heated, as they won’t cool other rooms down.
