Cover bare floorboards. Floors account for as much as 10% of heat loss if they’re not insulated, according to the National Energy Foundation (NEF). Carpets came into being for a reason, says Potter. Those with wooden flooring have to deal with heat loss. Rugs and blankets can help mitigate this and have the added bonus of keeping your feet warm. “Sometimes it’s just the psychological element,” says Potter. But if there are cracks or gaps in the flooring it’s a good idea to squirt some filler into them, advises the NEF. “Floorboards and skirting boards can contract, expand or move slightly with everyday use, so you should use a filler that can tolerate movement,” suggests the NEF. These are usually silicone-based.

Walk in showers are stylish and offer a practical solution for those with limited space because they have no doors that require room to open. If you like the idea of this modern, stylish solution you have several great options to choose from. Walk in showers are usually large enough to incorporate a drying area – so no need to step out into the cold air ever again!. If you like the idea of a true wet room experience, we can make your bathroom a completely watertight, fully tiled room, with or without a partial screen. As an added luxury, and if your ceiling height permits, you could select a ceiling-mounted shower head to give your walk in shower a glorious, hotel style rainshower effect, or alternatively a wall-mounted waterfall shower column gives an equally luxury feel. Enclosed shower cubicles (also called cabins or pods) are self contained units set on an integrated shower tray. Dependent on the space you have available they are a compact option with several sizes and shapes of tray available and a several door opening choices. For example the best solution for your bathroom may be a single sliding door, a pivot door, a bifold or quad doors where two doors slide out like wings. An enclosed cubicle can give the choice of square, rectangular, quadrant and even offset options. Read additional details at https://www.peterbrown.net/harrow-shower-solutions.html.
Once dinner comes out of the oven, we all close the door again. But why waste that heat? Leave the oven door open and let the heat transfer slowly into your kitchen, it’ll help keep your house warm while you eat. And, naturally, keep the kids away from the door. Wooden floors might look lovely but they can also let heat escape from right under your feet. Putting down a warm rug covers up the gaps and ensures your toes stay toasty.
