How to insulate an apartment without repair

Cold is not at all what you would like to feel in your apartment. On the contrary, returning from a cold street, you want to immerse yourself in an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. And what kind of warmth and comfort is there if drafts are walking around the apartment and the temperature in the room is below 18 degrees. There is no time for relaxation. And it is not necessarily about the incompetence of the companies that are responsible for heating our homes.

How to insulate an apartment without repair

Often the problems lie in the small nuances of our housing, which, nevertheless, greatly spoil our lives. Often, when you realize that the apartment is not very ready for the cold, the time for cold weather is already coming and it is already too late to make repairs to correct the oversights. And for such cases, there are a number of recommendations regarding how to insulate your home without resorting to full-scale repairs. And, I must say, these tips often turn out to be very effective. In this article, we will just tell you about how to cope with the autumn and winter cold without repair. Although, we cannot but admit that often repair is the best way out of the situation.

Check the door

An uninsulated door can significantly cool not only the hallway, but the entire apartment as a whole. So the first thing to do is to check if your door is leaking. If drafts were found, then you need to determine where they come from. If they penetrate through the cracks between the wall and the box. In this case, you should arm yourself with mounting foam and seal the gaps. The second option is a poor fit between the door itself and the box. Here you can be helped by special sealing tapes, which are sold in abundance in hardware stores - of all diameters that you can. And the very last option is if you have old doors and a heater in them that no longer copes with its task. Here you can simply replace the seal. The appearance of the door will most likely be spoiled, but the door will become warmer and more reliable.

Check windows

The second step to insulating your home is to inspect your windows. It's cold in the children’s room, and you don't know why? Notice the windows. Frankly bad double-glazed windows that do not withstand the cold are rare, therefore, most likely, the reason is the incompetence of the installers. Sometimes windows are not installed very conscientiously and gaps remain between the window and the wall, through which the cold penetrates. There is only one way out - use mounting foam in order to close the gaps.

Reflectors for radiators

Reflectors on radiators are a great solution to enhance the heating from the radiators themselves. You can buy them, or you can make them yourself, from 3-4 mm thick foam plastic and foil glued to it. Such a reflector is placed between the wall and the radiator with the foil side facing the heat source. Due to this, the heat that went into the wall is reflected from the surface of the reflector and returned to the room. Not a very aesthetic option, but if the bedroom is cold, then this is one of the best options.

Carpets

Often the cause of the cold in the room can be poorly laid floors. This problem is especially relevant for apartments on the first floor, since they are not connected to the lower apartments, where people heat their living quarters. And here the carpet will help you. Firstly, the carpet can cover the floors if there are any gaps in them, which will significantly reduce the penetration of drafts. And secondly, carpets themselves are much warmer than just flooring, so your feet will be much more comfortable.

Curtains

Curtains help to close the thermal contour of the room, and so that cold and drafts and cold from windows do not pass through this obstacle. Naturally, in order for them to fulfill their task, it is necessary to choose curtains from heavy and dense fabrics, since it is they who are able to adequately perform barrier functions. Plus, from a decorative point of view, they look very dignified, and even in the kitchen they will look appropriate.

Wall panels

Fabric and leather wall panels not only decorate the interior, but can also serve as a good way of thermal insulation without repair. This is especially true when one of the walls goes outside. It is quite possible to close this one wall with a wall panel, and in this case you not only warm the room, but also add an interesting decorative accent to the interior. Of course, this option is not suitable for the kitchen, but the living room or bedroom is ideal for this method of insulation.

Additional heating devices

When you have already done everything you could, but the result did not particularly impress you, then it's time to admit that your house simply does not have very good heating. Or that the apartment cannot be insulated without repair. And in this case, you should purchase additional heaters. There are a lot of options - from cheap and compact wind blowers to infrared heaters. The choice is yours, since only you can assess the need for these devices and your financial capabilities to purchase them.

Warm housing is just as important as high-quality furniture is important. And if you can do the insulation of your house yourself, then you yourself will not make furniture. But the company «Smart Space» can make individual furniture for you.
