How warm will your home be this winter?
Keeping cosy depends on a variety of factors and every little bit helps.
Windows are a major source of heat loss. Decent drapes and curtains are worth their weight in gold.
Also, check the seals around your windows, as rubber shrinks and leaves noticeable gaps.
How about the top of the windows? Over time the friction stays wear out meaning the window no longer sits snug in the frame letting out valuable heat and cold air in.
Fortunately it's a minor job to replace both the stays and the seals to help fortify your home's armour.
