"Many UK homeowners are unaware that they could be losing heat through their uPVC windows by not adjusting the settings, causing their energy bills to rise."
"According to the Energy Saving Trust, properly draught‑proofing around windows could save around £85 a year in Great Britain, so even small adjustments can make a real difference to comfort and costs."
"By adjusting a hidden setting in the window locking mechanism, homeowners can press the sash tighter, reducing draughts. I tried it out on my Victorian draughty home to show you the impact it had and how easy it was to do."
Many UK homes lose heat through uPVC windows when adjustable locking settings are not used. Proper draught‑proofing around windows can save around £85 a year in Great Britain, so small adjustments affect comfort and costs. A hidden adjustment inside the window locking mechanism allows the sash to be pressed tighter against the frame, reducing draughts. Performing the adjustment is straightforward and can noticeably reduce cold air entry in older properties such as Victorian homes. Regularly checking and adjusting window settings complements other insulation measures for greater warmth and energy savings.
