With the onset of cold weather we often remember about grandfather how to maintain heat in a particularly nasty days, with mezzanines getting all old clothes, which is heavily wrapped the whole family. According to the existing in our country standards, the room temperature in winter must not be less than 18 degrees, but what if that’s not enough? We will teach you how the means at hand to turn your apartment into a real branch of the summer.

Hello from the hallway

Don’t think that will be enough to keep doors and Windows closed. The heat is on and your stairwell. Pay attention to doors in the vestibule as soon as the cooler weather starts, keep them closed. The same applies to the access door. Performing this simple recommendation, you can increase the level of heat in the house by as much as 10%.

Foam

Earlier made sense to stick with wooden frames: they missed the cold wind from the street, and under the draft it is easy to get sick. Modern plastic Windows from most of these defects are deprived of at the factory, but to insure, nevertheless, will be not superfluous. Forget about sticky tape — you can buy foam or special insulation, which will reliably close all of the slits.

Look carpet

The Soviet past has led many of us to say goodbye to the carpet once and for all. At the time of the cold season is to go back for a while: on the floor carpet significantly improves the thermal insulation of the apartment.

Ventilation

Each apartment is equipped with a certain number of vents. Needless to say that this is the way comes the highest volume of cold air? Take a thick paper and partially block each hole on the drafts will be forgotten.

Door

The cracks in the front door — the main reason walks around the apartment cold drafts. Put a double door, and if not possible — strengthen an existing one. Walk on all the cracks with foam, for example.

Overclock heat

An ordinary fan can easily raise the temperature in the apartment at two or three degrees. Just put it near the battery: blade disperse heat throughout the room.

Set the reflector

The surface of any radiator, there is enough space to get my hand in there. Stick to the wall immediately behind the radiator a reflective foil or special heat reflective material heat insulation material is laid. Be sure to follow so that the gap between the sticker and the battery was not less than two inches, otherwise the air circulation will be disturbed and the effect will be the opposite of the desired effect.
