You’d be surprised how much cold air sneaks in through tiny gaps around windows, doors, and even skirting boards. A roll of weather stripping or a tube of silicone sealant can go a long way in keeping your space warm. It takes just a few minutes to apply and makes a noticeable difference almost immediately.

Those light, airy curtains that worked so well in summer? Not so great when temperatures drop. Swapping them for thermal-lined curtains helps trap heat inside while blocking cold draughts from windows. Open them during the day to let the sun in, and close them before sunset to lock the warmth in.

If your floors are tiled or laminate, you’ve probably noticed how icy they get in winter. Laying down a rug can add instant warmth underfoot and help insulate your home from the ground up. Bedrooms, lounges and kids’ play areas are great places to start.

Even a small gap under the door can let in enough cold air to undo all your heating efforts. A simple door snake or under-door draught stopper is all you need to block that chill. They’re affordable, easy to install, and make a big difference in keeping your home snug

Hot water loses heat as it travels from the geyser to your taps especially on cold mornings. A geyser blanket and pipe insulation help your system retain heat longer, reducing energy use and making sure you get warm water faster. It’s one of those fixes that saves you money while keeping you comfortable.

All of the above tips work brilliantly alongside traditional heating options like the reliable and energy-efficient Leroy Merlin Equation Heaters. Together, they will help you stay warm and snug all winter long.
