COMFORT
With autumn at full swing, the draught season has begun, making it important to properly insulate your home against the cold. Draughts around windows and doors can cause significant discomfort, but fortunately, there are simple solutions to fix this. By taking action, you can save on energy bills and keep your home at a comfortable temperature.
Draught at windows is a common problem. Whether it's small gaps or larger openings, there are various draught-proofing solutions to tackle this issue. Self-adhesive weatherstrips are an easy fix for gaps between 3 and 5 mm. These weatherstrips are simple to install and provide excellent insulation against cold air. For windows with larger gaps, a perimeter profile is a great option, such as the Elro XL or the ARP+. These profiles can be custom-fitted and offer a strong seal to keep the cold out.
Doors are often the biggest culprits when it comes to draughts, especially when larger gaps are present. An effective solution is installing a rebate perimeter profile specifically designed for outward-opening doors, such as the AIB 3N XL and AIB 4N. These profiles are made of aluminium and feature a silicone or plastic seal for optimal insulation.
For additional protection, perimeter profiles like the ARP+ and Elro XL offer an excellent alternative. These profiles are easy to install and help seal gaps effectively, keeping cold air out and warmth in.
Installing draught strips is simple and effective. To ensure the best results, follow these steps:
By sealing draughts properly, you can keep cold air out, maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, and reduce heating costs during winter.
Draught causes heat loss, making your heating system work harder and increasing energy costs. By properly sealing windows and doors, you can prevent heat loss and save on heating expenses. It is a simple and effective way to make your home more comfortable while saving money.
