The Energy Saving Trust has stressed the importance of draught proofing and identified the basic principles in addressing this issue. Whether you own a flat or a mansion draught proofing is one of the cheapest and most efficient ways to save energy however it is often overlooked.
Advice is given regarding materials that can be used to draught proof windows such as using sticky strips around the window frame. For closed windows that do not open the usage of silicon sealant is recommended. Draught proofing for outside doors can save a lot of heat and will only cost you a few pounds. Thinking about the gap at the bottom and the keyhole and letterbox and how much heat may be lost through these areas is worth consideration.
