When temperatures drop to new lows during the cold winter months, it's tempting to crank up the heat. Sound familiar? However, if you have draughts coming through gaps around the windows or doors, turning on the heater is almost pointless - it’s like money leaking out the window.
Before you panic, Exceed has a quick tip to help you identify draughty windows.
How to check your window for draughts
As the cooler weather arrives, it’s a good time to check that all your windows and doors seal tightly. If the catches or friction stays have become loose, your windows won’t seal effectively, which can cause draughts and let warm air escape.
Here's an easy way to identify draughty windows. All you need is a business card and these 3 simple steps:
Did the business card fall out, or could you easily pull it out of the window?
Then your friction stays are worn, and you’ll need to call us to replace them. In this condition, your windows can be draughty and may leak.
