Chilly, wet and windy…thats the weather round-up for the next few days and now that winter seems to have settled in, this list of Top 10 products may be some assistance in keeping homes warm and energy efficient over the winter months.

1. If you have floorboard draughts at home, prevent them with the Gapseal Floor Filler which will fill the gaps between floorboards and make rooms more heat efficient.
2. Draughty, noisy letterbox?  The Ecoflap acts as a draught excluder for letterboxes. When the wind blows, it will actually blow the Ecoflap shut and it will then never blow open making it completely draught proof.
3. If you have an unused fireplace at home, heat from the room could be escaping up and out the chimney.  Prevent this with a Chimney Balloon which once installed will help keep cold air from entering the room, and warm air from escaping up the chimney.
4. Radiator bleed keys are a thing of the past with the Aladdin automatic radiator bleeder which works by automatically removing air from radiators ensuring only hot water remains.  No dealing with black gunk or rusty water, once fitted you never need to worry about bleeding radiators again.
5. The Radiator Booster uses miniature 12-Volt electric fans to suck the heat up from the radiator and send it out into the room.  This reduces heat loss through the wall and as it heats the room quicker it allows the heating system to shut down sooner, saving you energy and money.
6. It is estimated that as much as 70% of the heat from radiators is lost by heating the wall behind the radiator. The Ecosavers Radiator Reflector Foil and Heatsaver Radiator Panels avoid this heat loss by bouncing the warmth back into the room and preventing it being absorbed into the wall.
7. Banish door draughts with a funky snake draught excluder.   Not only will it have you going all nostalgic for the 70’s, they are also one of the most tried and tested ways of plugging the gap under doors and stopping cold air getting in.
8. When bed time calls this winter, snuggle up with an organic, super-soft and luxurious hot water bottle cover made using organic merino wool.
9. When the inevitable nasty winter cold sets in, stick on the Eco Kettle and treat yourself to a nice hot whisky.  Always does the trick for me!
10. Okay so I’m struggling to reach number 10 and this one wont save you any money or energy but it will perhaps make a night in during the dark winter months that little bit cosier, our recycled glass candles are made using sustainably sourced soy wax and bring a warm, ambient glow to your surroundings.
