Summary

Draught proofing fills gaps and holes which reduces the amount of cold air entering your home and prevents warm air from escaping. The diagram below shows where draughts can enter your home.

You might want to consider draught proofing any exterior wooden or metal crittle framed doors, as well as windows.

There are many types of material available such as door, window and letterbox brushes, foam strips, sealants, and shaped rubber or plastic strips.

Draught proofing is an easy, cost-effective way to reduce your heating bills.
