Up to 50% of the heat we put into our Victorian/Edwardian houses escapes quickly through leaky or poorly insulated doors, windows, walls, floors, ceilings and the roof. The first step towards greening your home is to stop draughts. You will notice a difference immediately and could see fuel bills reduce by 10-20%.
A Draught Busting Day is an opportunity to learn how to make your Victorian house warm and cosy in time for the worst of winter. These events are organised by volunteers in their communities, for their neighbours. If you want one in your neighbourhood, get in touch.
The kinds of things that happen on draught-busting days:
- Ideas for draught proofing kits for sash windows that really work.
- Demonstrations on how to fit the draught-proofing to sash windows and doors
- Demonstrations of affordable, removable secondary glazing
- Ideas for more low cost energy efficiency measures you can take which you could copy in your home
- Contacts with local tradesmen who can help you carry out the work
- Tea and biscuits!
