Window film

A much cheaper alternative to double glazing is window film. You simply measure the area of the window, clean the window, cut the film to size and lay over the glass, trim the edges and leave to dry.

Draught excluders and rugs

Drafts from outside can creep through the bottom of the door, turning your warm rooms rather chilly. Draught excluders can keep unwanted drafts out, and rugs help retain the heat, blocking any air coming up through the floor.

Curtains

Heavy duty curtains that are properly lined will insulate the room and trap any cold air coming in through the window, so that it doesn’t drift through to the rest of the room, causing a chill in the air.

Window sealant

Sealing around the edge of your windows will stop any air from coming through - you’d be surprised how easily it can pass through even the smallest of gaps.

Buying a new build could also save you money on your energy bills. On average, new homes built in England and Wales today are 65% more energy efficient than a Victorian style house of the same style.
