The upcoming cold is forced to remember the grandfather ways to keep warm - in particularly unfortunate days, with the Andresol, all the old clothes are getting, in which the whole family is hung. According to the existing standards in our country, the temperature in the winter room should not be less than 18 degrees, but what should I do if it is missing? How to turn your apartment in a real branch of summer:
Hello from the corridor
Do not think that it will be enough to keep the doors and windows closed. Heat leaves on your staircase. Pay attention to the door in the tambour: as soon as it starts to get cold, keep them constantly closed. The same applies to the access door. By fulfilling this simple recommendation, you can increase the level of heat in the house by as much as 10%.
Mounting foam
It used to make sense to stick the wooden frames: they missed the cold wind from the street, and under the draft could be easily sick. Modern plastic windows from most such defects are spared at the factory, but to progress, nevertheless, it will not be superfluous. Forget about sticky tape - buy a mounting foam, or a special insulation that reliably closes everything, even the thinnest gaps.
Watch carpet
The Soviet past made many of us spread with carpets once and forever. On the cold season time it is worth returning to the past at least for a while: hiding on the floor, the carpet significantly increases the thermal insulation of the apartment.
VENTILATION
Each apartment is equipped with a certain amount of ventilation holes. Do I need to say that it is this way the greatest amount of cold air comes? Take tight paper and partially block each such hole - you can forget about drafts.
Doors
The slots in the entrance doors are the main cause of a cold draft. Put a double door, and if it is not possible - strengthen the existing one. Come on all the slots of the mounting foam, for example.
We accelerate heat
An ordinary fan can easily increase the temperature in the apartment for two or three degrees. Just put it at the battery: the blades will accelerate heat throughout the room.
Install reflector
Behind the surface of any radiator there is enough space to get back there. Start on the wall, immediately behind the radiator reflecting the foil or special heat-reflecting material, foam. Be sure to ensure that the gap between the sticker and the battery is not less than two centimeters, otherwise the air circulation will violate and the effect will be the opposite desired.
