A HOME expert has shared her advice for how to winter-proof an older home.<\/p>\n
She said she swears by a single product that prevents warm air from escaping.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Laura (@lauradebarra) shared the advice with over 37,000 TikTok followers.<\/p>\n
She explained that from experience, she's noticed tips around keeping heating bills low mostly revolved around modern homes.<\/p>\n
"You're expected to have thermostats on the walls, valves on the radiators, double-glazed windows, etc.," she said.<\/p>\n
For older homes, she explained that the "arch-nemesis" was single-glazed windows.<\/p>\n
"Single-glazed windows are the arch-nemesis of anyone who's renting, can't make major changes, doesn't have the budget to make major changes, and still wants a warm home," she said.<\/p>\n
She explained her last home was over 100 years old with single-glazed windows.<\/p>\n
Not only that but it was also located on the ground floor, making the spot freezing.<\/p>\n
"You would find that the heat we were paying for was just leaving the building," she said.<\/p>\n

All you need to do is you're basically creating a second glazing effect," she explained.<\/p>\n Instead of recommending a specific brand, she advised viewers to pay attention to product reviews instead.<\/p>\n "Apply your tape around the pane, pop on the plastic film, and then you're going to get a hairdryer," she said.<\/p>\n "Love them, swear by them, they're one of the cheapest and easiest ways to keep your insulation."<\/p>\n People took to the comments to thank her for her advice: "Thank you for this, I need these on my sash windows," said one commenter.<\/p>\n "Such a useful video!! So practical thank you!!" said another.<\/p>\nStrictly shock as favourite is axed & Claudia brands dance-off ‘closest ever’<\/h3>\n
