Draught Proofing
Air leaks can account for up to 15% of the heat leaving your home, worse still the air movement from cracks in floorboards, gaps around windows and vents can create chilly draughts. One of the best things you can do to reduce your heating bills and increase your comfort this winter, is to get rid of those old draught snakes and get serious about draught busting. Whether it's through DIY eforts or getting in the professionals, sealing gaps will keep you warmer this winter. Find out the common areas for draughts and what to do about them.
