A simple way to keep your home warm and cozy is to use a draft excluder; a device used to block drafts entering through door or window gaps.
You can find draft excluders in a variety of stores, but The Range’s new Hatfield Check Draft Excluder is a real winner at just £6.99.
It may come as a surprise, but 30 percent of the heat in a home is lost because cracks are not properly sealed.
As a result, radiators are forced to work harder to keep a room warm.
By reducing heat loss, your radiators won’t have to spend extra time or energy maintaining a comfortable temperature and for those who want to ditch their heating altogether, this affordable purchase will ensure that no nasty gust of wind leaves you shivering.
Using a weatherstrip requires no preparation and is a super cheap way to prepare your home for the cold nights.
On The Range’s website they wrote: “Prevent the heat from escaping your home with this Hatfield Check Draft Excluder. In traditional check design.
“It gives your home a rustic look and prevents cold air from seeping into your room.
“Place near a door or window to preserve your home Nice and cozy during the colder months.”
5 ways to keep your house warm in winter
Real estate expert Joshua Houston shared his tips.
1. Curtains
“Windows are a common place for the cold from outside to enter your home, this is due to small openings that can let air in, so always close your curtains as soon as it gets dark,” he said.
This simple method gives you an extra layer of warmth because it can provide a kind of “insulation” between your window and curtain.
2. Rugs
“Your floor is another part of your home where heat can be lost and make your home feel cold,” he continued. “On cold days you may notice that your floor is not pleasant to walk on because your feet are freezing.
“Add rugs to areas that don’t already have carpet. This will provide a layer of insulation between your bare floor and the room above.”
3. Check your insulation
Check your pipes, attic space, crawl spaces and under floorboards.
“Loose insulation is great for this, and it is a more affordable form of insulation, with a large bag being picked up for around £30,” explains Joshua.
4. Keep your interior doors closed
“Household members often congregate in one room in the evening, which is usually the kitchen or living room,” says Joshua.
“This means you only need to heat a small part of your home and closing the doors keeps the heat in and the cold out.”
5. Block drafts
Don’t forget to check cat flaps, chimneys and mailboxes as these can let in cold air if they are not properly secured.
Available in two different colors, this draft excluder not only blocks air from entering your home, but also looks beautiful.
If that’s not enough, it can also help reduce noise pollution, which is especially helpful for anyone living in the city.
Additionally, weatherstripping can also help prevent dust, pollen, and even small creepy crawlies from entering your home so you can sleep easy too.
So if you want to get ready for winter, but with hardly any fuss or effort, you need to get to The Range, and as quickly as you can.
