Woeful windows can leave houses cold

There exists a handful of reasons why houses are always cold, or at least, always feel cold.

Some are hard or impossible to alter, like the orientation of your home (North, South, East or West).

Other reasons include:

  • Inadequately insulated house walls,
  • Insufficient exterior heat-insulating material, and/or
  • Windows not up to standard.

Windows mainly act as pathways in the transfer of heat. This allows the much-wanted heat in winter to escape if there’s little to no window insulation or shading.

Look to the larger windows for your problem. Never fear though, there is a solution in the form of window coverings, like roller shutters to trap the warmth inside where you want it.
