    The cold winds of winter can be fun and enjoyable if it won’t slash much from your pocket due to energy consumed by insulators or heaters. You can try several innovative ways that will allow you to have a warmer house without paying much electricity. Add to that, you can also make your house more stylish and appealing even when others are trembling because of the cold weather. The first thing that you need to check on is your doors and windows. Air leakage will cause a colder temperature, so follow the tips that you can get from this infographic to keep your doors and windows protected against winter’s harsh elements. 1. Windows and doors must be free from any leakage and it’s the casing that usually has the problem. Weather stripping and caulking can be done to seal off these openings and eliminate the chance that the air will go through inside your house. Give some time for doing it before the first day of winter. 2. Decorate functionally. Heavier curtains may not look good during summer time but when it’s winter, your light curtains will be of no use. Heavy linens will keep your house insulated and draughts will not be able to penetrate inside. White curtains are often used but you can choose warmer colors. 3. Glass doors would be more susceptible to cold temperature but you can minimize it through a floor length heavy drapery that can also serve as a decoration especially in the morning because you can just pull it to the side. It will give a dramatic impact when seen outside your home. 4. A warmer atmosphere can be achieved through layered curtains. Use warm colors and hung it up covering your windows to block off the cold air coming from the outside. You’ve got an elegant looking house and you can still reduce your energy consumption. Winter season can’t be avoided but the impact of it can be minimized. Also, you must keep these curtains so that when the next winter comes, you’re all well prepared. 5. There may be very little space under your door where air can still pass through. You know when it is winter this thin air could make you shake because it would still be cold. The way to cover it up is by a stylish and decorative draft-stopping door snake. Choose one that matches your curtain or wall color and decorations. 6. Are you a kind of person who always sits near the window, thinks of nothing and just stares blankly outside where people come and pass by? You can do this during summer time but when it’s winter and you opt to protect your window with another extra film, your views will become fuzzy. 7. For those with much budget, you can add storm windows and doors because it has been proven to be more energy efficient than a dual-pane window. Though it would be much expensive than others mentioned above, your savings can still compensate for its cost. source: https://www.sprayinsulationindustries.com/insulate-windows-doors-winter-infographic/
