Winter is well and truly drawing in, if it hasn’t already arrived. It may be cold outside, but you shouldn’t be saying the same about your home. Oftentimes, your windows can be the main culprit of drafts in our homes. If you are looking for ways you can keep the warm air in and the cold air out, here are some ways you can prevent drafty windows in the winter.
Reglaze Your Window Panes to prevent drafts
If your weatherstrips are not doing enough to stop the drafts from your windows, you should consider reglazing the window panes all together. Double glazed units provide South West homeowners with exceptional thermal efficiency, energy confinement, and noise-reducing qualities that single glazing simply cannot compete with.
Made to measure, our double glazed units are sure to keep you warm and cosy throughout the harsh winter months. Improving health and well-being right across the board, high-quality double glazing generally lasts well over 20 years so the investment is definitely worth it.
For extra protection against the elements, you could also consider triple glazing. Triple glazed units provide South West homeowners with unparalleled energy confinement and noise reducing qualities, that double and single glazing simply cannot compete with. In comparison to double glazing, triple glazed windows can provide an additional 15% energy saving each year.
Lock Your Windows
One of the main reasons why your windows are letting in all the cold air is because the windows are not locked. Make sure they are closed and secure. Take it another step further by applying weatherstripping the frame and panes. This will definitely help your windows to prevent letting cold drafts in.
Weatherproof Your Doors
Your doors could also be letting in the cold air. If you feel a cool draft when you are by the door on this inside of your home, there’s a good chance heat is escaping and drafts are coming through. Weatherstrips applied to the exterior of your doors along the sides and over the top can help to reduce the drafts. If this isn’t enough, however, it may be time to think about replacing your doors.
Our varied collection of enduring door styles has strength, stunning aesthetics and energy efficiency at the core of each design. From contemporary to more traditional styles, our double-glazed replacement doors dramatically retain and conserve energy within homes and businesses right across North Somerset and Bristol; so much so, they can considerably reduce heating bills.
