The adverts are back on TV, the weather is turning colder, winter has arrived. And while this time of year means excitement for most of us, it's also when homes face their toughest test, from the weather and from opportunistic thieves alike. Here are our three top tips for winter proofing your household.
First: put temptation out of sight. "Out of sight, out of mind" genuinely works on burglars, and integral blinds, sealed between the panes of your glazing, make it effortless to screen your rooms and valuables from view. No dusting, no cords, and privacy at the twist of a control.
Second: find your draughts before the cold does. Check doors and windows for worn seals, stiff mechanisms and gaps you can feel on a windy day. Small failures in autumn become expensive comfort problems by January, and ageing units rarely improve on their own.
Third: upgrade the weak points. If a door or window is past its best, no amount of draught excluder will really fix it. Modern doors with multi-point locking, and A-rated glazing, deliver warmth and security in the same visit.
