Cold in temperatures - is just around the corner. And the problem is that, when it arrives suddenly, many of us are not prepared to cope, neither on the street nor at home. Because it is precisely in the home where you spend the most time that is why it is essential that you are in the best conditions to avoid having to wrap yourselves in excess for something as every day as watching television on the sofa or studying at your desk. Below are critical points you must control in order for it to be a success.

Roof

To begin, let's look at the ceiling.  Because the main heat losses in homes occur precisely because of the roof. Specifically, 30% of the heat disappears through the roof, so it has to be the first objective of the reform or rehabilitation. The most advisable for this case may be the extruded polystyrene, since it not only protects from the cold in winter, but also from the heat in summer, which keeps the temperature stable throughout the year.  

Walls

The walls of the building are the following causes that the heat is not perceptible in your home. Here 25% of the temperature of the houses escapes. And, for this reason, they should be the object of thermal rehabilitation or reform so that it is complete. In this case, as with the roof, reducing the loss of heat through the walls also lowers the amount of the electric bill or gas.

Extra tips

Use curtains and blinds as insulators. If at night you close the blinds and pull the curtains, the house will keep the heat accumulated during the day.

Close the kitchen doors and the window. These rooms have security slits through which the heat goes and, at the same time, the cold enters, so it is necessary to avoid that this exchange of energy spreads throughout the house.
