Because we are not owner, or simply because we do not have the means, sometimes difficult to isolate all of your apartment or your house.Here are some tips to limit the "thermal colander" effect.
PublicitéTake out a plaid to slip underneath a good series, with a hot drink (if possible with lots of chocolate) and her/her partner, it's great.Take out a plaid because that's it or the frostbite, less.While we are going to know a new cold wave, and the price of gas and electricity soars this winter, it sometimes becomes complicated to be hot at home.Or just be comfortable.Because energy precariousness is not just a concept, it is a reality for many.Obviously, to fight against it, there is no miracle recipe: you need well-isolated accommodation and have enough to pay heating.But for the first point, if nothing replaces real floor insulation work on the ceiling, some tips allow you to win a few degrees.
From thermal insulating curtains to windows
Curtains do not only protect light: they can also isolate.For that, obviously, you should not fall back on a veiling, but on a thermal insulating curtain, equipped with a lining that runs warm in summer, and cold in winter (they are necessarily blackout).It is suitable if you have poorly insulated or double glazing windows, but can also land on an old door for example, or between two rooms to avoid drafts.
There are all colors, all styles.You can add a lining to sew yourself to your curtains from 15 euros, otherwise you have to count between 30 and 60 euros.
Change your joints
A moldy window seal is air and humidity that come in.Changing a seal is ultra simple and does not require a lot of equipment (silicone and a pistol), it is often the first step through which you have to pass.You can also add joints to stick, at a very reasonable price, around your door if it lets the air pass (at worst, the good old big scotch system will always be better than nothing to fill the cracks).
The putty is the responsibility of the tenant.On the other hand, if the windows are really dated and not waterproof, it is up to the owner to ensure that his property is not unhealthy (otherwise, he is not allowed to rent it).So do not hesitate to ask him to change the frames if they are from another age and clearly let the air pass.
Gourm
Yes, it's ugly.Yes, that makes granny.But yes, it's practical.A good big old -fashioned sausage allows you to make your door and prevent the air from going below.To you DIY (there are tutorials to do it in fabric, otherwise use the legs of old jeans or even newspaper)!Or you can opt for an elegant design that will bring a touch of refinement to your interior.Otherwise, there are more discreet, but just as effective scratch door.
Buy a carpet (or carpet)
The carpet is pretty.But on a cold floor, type Timettes or tiles, it is above all a little more for two reasons: on the one hand, you will not have the feeling of cold when you put your feet on it;On the other hand, this adds an insulating layer to the ground, avoiding heat loss with the apartment below.Bonus, it isolates noise (for your minuit techno/demons) and can be removed for summer.You can also replace it with carpet if you want better insulation.It only remains to avoid the wine spots and the crumbs that accumulate in it.
Put heat reflective panels
You have an old hot water radiator, or your outdoor walls are really badly insulated.So it may be useful to invest in a reflective panel.The goal: stop heating the wall (and outside) and recovering the heat to send it back to your little nest.These panels are placed behind your radiator and refer the heat it produces inside the room.You can tinker with a simple aluminum sheet on a polystyrene panel, buy a reflective film in a roll and equip all its radiators, or directly invest in individual panels (around 20 euros room).And if you really have it, you can even do it yourself.Be careful, if you have a recent radiator, there is no point in investing.
In any case, remember to leave space around your radiators (avoid putting too much furniture in front) and dust them regularly to limit heat losses.
Set up shutters
Windows and bay windows being at the origin of 15% of heat loss, it is essential to isolate them as much as possible.After the curtain stage, there is the shutters stage, which will protect you from noise and heat or cold (roller shutters, it's even better, obviously).This is the kind of investment that the owner must take care of, but nothing obliges him.
If you only have a simple glazing, there are also movies to stick directly on your windows to protect you from the cold without hiding sunlight.But it remains quite useless if the insulation around your windows is not good.
Otherwise, there remains the technique offered with elegance and respect by the Crous de Bordeaux…
