Secondary Glazing Specialists5 Reasons You Should Consider Draught Proofing Your Home This Summer
Have you got a pesky draught in your home? Noticing that steady breeze coming through your windows or doorways is not only incredibly frustrating, but it can also be very costly. Those draughts make it very hard to ensure your home is energy efficient, forcing your heating to work overtime to maintain the temperature.
While the problems of a draughty home are more profound in the winter months, it does not mean you are immune in the summertime. In fact, the summer months are the perfect time to think about draught-proofing your property. Don’t believe us? Here are five reasons why you should consider it this summer…
Beat the rush
If you are like most homeowners, you will have forgotten about the draughts in your property as soon as the sun started shining and the weather warmed up. That is because the impact of a draught is far less in the summer months, so many of us do not start remembering it until the weather cools down again.
However, getting to October and remembering that pesky draught means you’ll be joining a long queue of people who have done the exact same thing. This could lead to weeks of waiting for secondary glazing or other draught-proofing methods. Opting to get your home sorted in the summer months means you will be ahead of the game and face a far shorter wait.
Not only that, but it also means your home will be fully protected when the weather turns, meaning your bills will be lower from the start!
Comfier installation
It’s not just about beating the queues, though. Having any work undertaken on your property during the winter months can be highly disruptive, with workers coming in and out frequently, meaning your doors and windows need to be open. This means your family will have to face colder temperatures and more discomfort.
In the summer months, however, that is far less of an issue. You might even be grateful for a gentle breeze coming through the home while your windows are updated!
Speeds up the process
Nowadays, draught proofing is highly technical and utilises advanced techniques to ensure your home is fully protected. Many of these techniques utilise a special seal around the glazing to prevent any draught; however, this can often require a little while to set in and start working at its maximum.
Opting for draught proofing during the summertime will ensure these seals are installed in ideal conditions. This ensures that by the time the winter months arrive again, your home will be fully sealed from draughts, and it’s much easier to maintain a comfortable temperature!
Comfier summers
Of course, while draughts are at their worst during the winter months, it does not mean they are not annoying in the summer, too. When you want to keep cool air inside, say via air conditioning or a fan, these draughts can push cold air out or draw hot air in.
Installing effective draught proofing will help to keep your home cooler and comfier throughout the hot summer months.
Save sooner
Finally, the sooner you start draught-proofing your home, the sooner you can start saving. Putting your heating or air conditioning on while having a draught room is effectively wasting money as your system has to work in overtime just to maintain a steady temperature. Installing things such as secondary glazing windows now will ensure your home is as efficient as possible.
