The winter months can be tough when it comes to keeping your house warm as old windows and bad insulation can lead to your house losing heat by the second, but how can this be prevented? In this article, we will be providing you with some of our top tips to help you survive even the coldest of winter regardless of the size of the house that you have. 

Add Insulation To The Loft 

One of the easiest ways to keep your house warm in the winter is by putting insulation in the loft. This will help to trap the heat in the house and keep you warm and toasty throughout the winter. Though this is a task that should be prepped for in the summer, this will help you to save money on your monthly heating bill and ensure that you are protected against wind and rain.

Protect The Roof

In addition to loft installation, it may also benefit you to protect the roof with corrugated roofing sheets. These are not only affordable, but they fit over your existing roof allowing you to enjoy the added protection. They can be customised to suit the colour of the rest of your house and can be fitted with ease, allowing you to trap in the heat and prevent the rain from collecting on your roof. Though this will take a bit of work to put up, they can then stay there and act as a practical solution and can even raise the property value of your home.

Dress The Window With Curtains 

Another way to keep the cold at bay is to dress your windows. Whether you decide to dress them with blinds or curtains, this can help to keep the heat from your radiators in and the cold out. Whether you opt for thick material or a slightly thinner alternative, this not only adds character to the room, but it will help to create the perfect welcoming atmosphere as well as regulating the temperature of the room. Whether it is for the living room, spare bedroom or even the master bedroom, this is a technique that can be adapted to suit any room.

Bleed Your Radiators 

The final way to save money and keep your house warm in the winter is to bleed the radiators. This is particularly important if you are in an older house as this could be preventing certain radiators from getting warm. Though this can be a time-consuming process, this will help all the radiators to heat up much faster and stay warm as a result. Whether you are in a small apartment or you are in a large 4-bedroom house, this will help to keep it warm all year round as well as reduce your monthly bills.
