Let’s understand what your windows are missing and the solutions that can help you manage the freeze in your Adelaide home.
Short-Term Solutions to Improve Insulation
Windows and doors are the biggest cause of heat loss in your home. Several different factors contribute to this including cracks, failed seals, and poor insulation. There are a few short-term solutions you can use to fix this problem.
- Door sweeps are a common technique that is simple to instal along the bottom of exterior doors that aid in blocking cold air from entering. While these will raise the insulation level of your house, it won’t entirely stop the cold from getting in.
- Insulated curtains are a great addition too. Although easy to install, they are not a permanent solution.
- If you’re looking for a quick and hassle-free solution, then using a door snake might be the best tactic for you. These weighted fabric tubes are placed just at the bottom of the door to prevent cold air from coming through and are an easy, temporary fix focused on preventing drafts.
What are your Windows Missing? Quality Insulation.
All the elements mentioned above are great projects to aid in the reduction of cool air entering your home, but there is a better option that combines the above short-term solutions and will continue to provide benefits for many years to come. Just like how we layer up during winter to keep our bodies warm, our windows could use another layer of insulation to keep your home warm and cosy.
A retrofit double-glazing system such as Magnetite creates the perfect thermal break from your existing frame while its airtight magnetic seals help eliminate draughts. The system uses an optical grade acrylic which is up to 6 times more thermally efficient and up to 18 times stronger than standard glass. The addition of an extra layer of glazing adds an air pocket between the window and this gap allows for more insulation by trapping the cold air when it tries to enter your home. This also helps to reduce condensation that can cause mould build-up, protects your health, and prolongs the life of surrounding window furnishings.
With insulation provided by quality Magnetite double-glazing, thermal comfort is the first thing your Adelaide home will feel. The installation of Magnetite will not only protect you from the winter cold but also prevents the scorching heat in summer from entering your home.
As you investigate thermal insulation, consider solutions that will deliver the best results in addition to cost efficiencies in the long term. Whether your home is too cold or too hot, Magnetite Adelaide has the perfect solution for your needs. Contact us today!
