The Claire Byrne Show
Stopping the chills and draughts in your house!

I have draft excluder here.

The Claire Byrne Show
Stopping the chills and draughts in your house!

So these lads go around your window.

The Claire Byrne Show
Stopping the chills and draughts in your house!

So you just simply peel off the tape and oftentimes with the older windows, especially, even when you do close them, there is a draft comes in the side.

The Claire Byrne Show
Stopping the chills and draughts in your house!

So this, when you open up your window and the lip that goes the whole way around, it's really, really good sticky tape and it sticks and it's like...

The Claire Byrne Show

it's like the rubber seal around your tyre or such like that that stops the airflow flowing out through it basically.

The Claire Byrne Show
Stopping the chills and draughts in your house!

You won't see it.

The Claire Byrne Show

When the window is closed you will cop it when you open up the window alright but again it just looks like a layer of foam a layer of tape if you put it on nice and tidy keep it nice and tight to the edges it should work and it should stop just the draft coming in.

Well, I suppose going down the road of replacing this stuff is thousands.

The Claire Byrne Show

So I bought these this morning in Chadwick's.

The Claire Byrne Show

And that was eight euro and this lad was 15 euros.

so the cheapest chips as well and look at if you do put them on you still figure out it's freezing in this place then we might look into trying to change it but I always think why not give it a go and just get your drill or get your piece of literally a scissors to cut these lads and stick it onto the door why not what could go wrong but the drafts mightn't be coming just from the doors and windows there could be other problems where else should we look at

The Claire Byrne Show
Stopping the chills and draughts in your house!

Well, we should look in older houses, unfortunately, we have our four inch holes in the wall where we have our vent covers.

The Claire Byrne Show

So they used to have, that used to happen for airflow throughout the house, that mould and all the rest of it.

The Claire Byrne Show

And for some brilliant reason, they decided to drill these four inch holes into the wall.

And that was how we were going to control our airflow.

The Claire Byrne Show
Stopping the chills and draughts in your house!

There are other ways we can look into it by maybe upgrading our heating systems and stuff like that.

The Claire Byrne Show

But in terms of doing small jobs, I would stick to these lads first.

The Claire Byrne Show
Stopping the chills and draughts in your house!

Yes.

To change the locks is fairly simple.
