Hello everyone,
I was very unhappy with my heating system during the cold temperatures at the beginning of the year. The rooms always felt cold to me, even though the radiators themselves were warm to the touch. Now that the temperatures are dropping again, I’m experiencing the same issue and would like to try solving it with reflective foil insulation. What do you think of my idea?
And one more quick question before I finish: How have you improved the sealing of your windows to prevent drafts?
Cheers everyone

New windows are also quite expensive. Especially with our older building, it is a costly matter. So, in late autumn, I sealed my windows. Before that, I used a small candle to check where the drafts were coming from. Then, I applied sealing strips around the frames. Beforehand, I cleaned the frames thoroughly to ensure the sealing strips would stick properly.
This made a noticeable difference, and it is now about 5°C (41°F) warmer. Very comfortable, and you can really feel it.
