5 Benefits of Draught Proofing in the Summer | Glaze & Save
Draughts can be
one of the biggest problems for householders, threatening thermal comfort and
energy all while being completely invisible. In many homes, particularly older
properties with single glazing, up to fifty percent of heating and cooling
energy is lost due to uncontrolled draughts. This can make it extremely
difficult to heat your home and cause energy bills to skyrocket.
Eradicating uncontrolled air leakage with draught proofing products will make a big impact on your energy usage, saving you money on energy bills while improving the comfort of your home. While it’s most common to consider draught proofing in the winter, draught proofing your home in the summer can also have its benefits. So don’t let the July weather put you off making your home air tight and thermally comfortable.
1. Prepare your home for the winter ahead.
Draught proofing can involve keeping you windows and door open while the products are applied, leading to a very chilly day or two in your home! You can avoid this by having draught proofing installed in the summer. Of course, there’s no guaranteeing mild weather in the British summertime, but avoiding a winter installation should mean a more comfortable experience for you.
2. Avoid the winter rush
We know that it makes sense to have draught proofing in the winter. Just taking away a chilly draught can improve the thermal comfort of a room by several degrees. But the problem is we all know this in the winter, and waiting until the seasons change can leave you at the mercy of lead times. Think outside the box and install your draught proofing in the summer instead and enjoy a quicker turnaround.
3. Quicker drying times for liquid draught proofing products
Making the switch from traditional and invasive draught proofing products like window brushes, to an innovative non-invasive treatment like Glaze & Save InvisiSeal™ has a host of benefits for your windows, not least keeping them entirely intact. A summer installation means more stable and warmer temperatures which help InvisiSeal™ dry out more quickly and evenly, which means a more efficient installation for you!
4. Prevent the loss of cool air
Draught proofing doesn’t just keep unwanted air flow outside. It also keeps temperate air inside. In the winter this means keeping your warm air where it belongs; but equally, in the summer, you draught proofing will keep the cool air inside. Keeping your home cooler on days where it’s too hot outside is just another great benefit of installing draught proofing in the summer.
5. Reduced energy bills all year round
Adequate draught proofing can save you money all year round, yes even in the summer! A draught proofing product such as InvisiSeal™ can significantly reduce your heating bills. That means lower heating bills in the winter (and our particularly cold summers!) as well as a reduction in the cost of air conditioning or using electric fans to cool your home in the summer. Enjoy the benefits of reduced energy bills all year round with a summertime draught proofing installation.
