 Draught Proofing Monday 28 February 2010 A draught is a sign of poor insulation. As cold air enters the house, warm air exits. This ends up costing the homeowner unnecessary heating bills, and heats the outside environment. Draught proofing comes in a variety of forms, mainly brushes, rubber seals and plastic/metal frames. Doors are the most common source of draughts, along with letter-boxes and keyholes. Therefore front/back doors and porches are the most important areas to draught proof. This will keep warm air in during the winter, and reduce heating bills. It is important not to apply draught proofing to bathroom or kitchen doors or windows. These rooms produce high amounts of condensation, which if not ventilated correctly will cause mould and similar problems. With a well-insulated home, it is important to ventilate in order to keep the building from becoming stuffy. |
