Reduce the Draughts in your Home this Winter

The hot topic of conversation is no doubt the Cost of Living especially as winter closes in. Where I live in Scotland it has been known to have temperatures plummet to as low as -24 Celcius 1979. Only recently in 20/21 winter we recorded -13 Celcius at 4:30 in the afternoon. Someone in my village asked if I was able to make draught excluders. Two were made for him exactly to the length required for his door thresholds. That then got me making and selling a lot of excluders especially as the weather had been so cold across the UK that year. My draught excluders can be made to any length within reason. The largest and longest so far has been 3 metres long for a Yoga studio up against the garage door. There's me thinking just your standard door width or Bi-Fold door width when out of the blue a special request comes in. Another client wanted a draught excluder 2.4 metres long with ties. Why with ties? Well, this was to be tied to the fire guard to protect her grandchild from falling onto the hearth. Another client asked me to make some excluders to sit on the ledge of her sash windows between the two windowpanes. How to do it as I live in Scotland and the client is in London. Paper templates cut out by the client and then sent to me, then I cut out the material and made into excluders. I was also able to cut out small holes for the latches I weighted the draught excluder for a snug fit. I can add zips into the excluders so that the wadding can be removed, and the material machine washed if appropriate.


By all means contact me with your requests and I will see what we can work together.


Thanks


Rosalind
