Drafts in the house are an increased risk of respiratory illnesses and indoor mold, which is also dangerous to health. Drafts also take away heat, and we have to pay more for heating.

How to quickly get rid of this problem, identify and eliminate the sources of drafts, tells OBOZ. UA.

Where do drafts come from in the house?

The main source of drafts in a house is usually windows and doors. If they are old, then they have to be insulated using similar methods, but there are fewer and fewer such products. Most modern residential buildings are equipped with PVC windows and doors with adjustment functions inside the frames to eliminate gaps.

In this case, all that is needed to block the flow of cold air in the house is a hex key, which needs to turn the "cam" of the adjustment mechanism a little. After that, the striking plate will retract and the window will be closed much tighter.

If more force is required to close, turn the key slightly to the other side to give it a little more room.

Tip: Before doing anything with windows and doors, read the manufacturer's instructions.
