The winter months are a stern test of your home’s insulation. Whether it’s the hard frosts or chilled winds, staying warm can be a challenge. Here are Notaro Window’s 7 tips for staying warm this winter.
-
Cladding
Whilst cladding is designed to keep out wet weather, it has a large effect on a home’s warmth. Notaro Windows’ cladding in Somerset protects a building’s exterior whilst providing a layer of thermal insulation to ensure you stay toasty this winter.
-
Double glazing in Somerset
With 20% of a home’s heat lost through its windows, installing Notaro Windows’ double glazing in Somerset is a cost-effective way to stay warm. Whether your home would suit casement, aluminium or timber effect uPVC windows, Notaro Windows’ double glazing across Somerset is a worthwhile investment for future years.
-
Shutting the curtains
Whether you have double glazed windows or not, shutting the curtains in the evening can reduce heat loss by 25% and is even more effective with thermal curtains.
-
Let there be light
Opening your curtains during the daylight hours however is great for letting natural heat into the home. This tip is particularly useful for those with conservatories in Somerset looking to enjoy their conservatory in the chillier months.
-
Living room layout
Having a sofa in front of the radiator prevents emitted heat from warming the rest of the room. Ensure your radiators aren’t blocked this winter to ensure their maximum effectiveness.
-
Cover all bases
Wooden floor boards can make a home feel cold on the feet. Stay warm this winter by covering the floor boards with rugs and temporary carpet.
-
Stop the draught
If you have porch doors or wooden stable doors, it’s likely draughts are frequently let into your home. Ensure your home stays protected from draughts with a draught excluder at the foot of your doors.
