Draught Proofing Scotland

Draught Proof Your Home

Draught Proofing in Scotland

Draught proofing refers to the process of sealing gaps and cracks in a building to prevent the entry of cold air from the outside and the escape of warm air from the inside. It involves using materials such as sealants, weatherstripping, and door sweeps to block gaps around windows, doors, and other openings in the building’s structure. Draught proofing helps improve energy efficiency by reducing heat loss, making the indoor environment more comfortable and lowering heating and cooling costs.

Draught proofing is incredibly effective if coupled with the likes of loft insulation to fully maximise on the benefits of each process.

How does draught proofing work?

Draught proofing works by sealing gaps, cracks, and openings in a building’s structure to prevent the infiltration of cold air from the outside and the escape of warm air from the inside.

By sealing these gaps, draught proofing creates a more airtight building envelope, preventing cold air from entering and warm air from escaping. This process leads to better energy efficiency, reduced heating and cooling costs, and increased comfort within the building.

Draught Proofing Installers Scotland

Listed below are the important steps our draught proofing installers follow on installations:

Identification of Gaps: First, professionals or homeowners identify areas in the building where draughts are occurring. Common areas include around windows and doors, gaps in floorboards, and cracks in walls.

Sealing Gaps: Various materials are used to seal these gaps. Weatherstripping, for example, is a flexible material that can be applied around the edges of windows and doors to create a tight seal when closed. Sealants or caulk can be used to fill small cracks and gaps in walls or between building materials.

Door Sweeps: Door sweeps or draught excluders are attached to the bottom of doors to seal the gap between the door and the floor.

Window Sealants: Special sealants can be applied around window frames to prevent air leakage.

Insulation: In some cases, additional insulation materials might be added around doors and windows to provide better thermal resistance.

Regular Maintenance: Draught proofing needs regular maintenance to ensure the materials remain effective. Over time, weatherstripping and other materials might wear out and need to be replaced.

Envirosmart Limited has a team of professional draught proofing installers who can provide the full process of draught proofing combined with home insulation.

What our clients say about us

Insultation in Scotland



Initially we contracted Craig and his team to provide insulation for two attic rooms which are either freezing or much too hot and they ended up fitting a new kitchen too.
We can't recommend this firm highly enough, especially for the way they helped us through the unexpected discovery of damp.

Communication and customer service were excellent; friendly helpful worker were punctual, hardworking and cleaned up thoroughly.
Highly recommended.

Great service. Phoned on the Monday, Craig came out the next day to survey the loft. I felt it was a good price and booked the job in for the following Tuesday. Allan, Fraser and Callum came out and stripped all the rotten stuff out then boarded up exposed roof panels and installed new insulation. They tidied up as they left and I am now delighted with the quality of the job. Very professional from start to finish. 5 Stars

Used this company to upgrade our loft insulation. All staff were extremely hardworking and professional and they went over and above when faced with an unexpected wasp nest in the roof. Would highly recommend the team. Would not hesitate to use them in the future. Many thanks Craig and team for such a great job.

Ross McKinley, Edinburgh5* Bark Review, April 2021
Extremely pleased that we used Craig and his team to install pitched roof loft insulation in our 120 year old house. The lads were polite, pleasant and hardworking. They went that extra mile and left the previously neglected loft in mint condition. After sales service is second to none too. Thanks to all involved the difference the insulation has made is phenomenal. Would definitely use their services again.

I engaged Envirosmart to remove old insulation from my loft, replace with new and partially floor the loft. Despite the job of removing the old insulation being particularly messy and unpleasant, it was done without any mess in the house. The work was completed to an excellent standard, efficiently and at a very competitive price. They were also a pleasure to deal with. Superb and definitely on my short list of go to companies.

    Draught Proofing Your Walls

    Draught proofing your walls is the process of sealing gaps, cracks, and openings in the internal walls of your home to prevent cold air from entering and warm air from escaping. This can be done using various methods, such as filling gaps with sealant, adding insulation, or installing draught excluders around windows and doors. Draught proofing walls minimises air leaks and improves insulation.

    Draught Proofing Loft Hatches

    Draught proofing loft hatches involves sealing gaps and openings around your loft hatch area to prevent drafts and air leakage. This can be achieved by adding weather stripping, using draught excluders, or applying sealant to the edges of the hatch. Draught proofing loft hatches is essential to maintain insulation in your loft.

    Draught Proofing Under Flooring

    Draught proofing under flooring is an important part of effective underfloor insulation closing any openings between floorboards, skirting boards, and other floor elements to prevent drafts and air leakage from underneath the floor and create a barrier against drafts. 

    Floorboard draught proofing

    Draught Proofing Your Roof

    Roof draught proofing is an essential part of home insulation that helps improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort. Methods of roof draught proofing include:

    Sealing Roof Vents: Ensure that roof vents are properly sealed to prevent drafts. Use weatherstripping or sealant around the edges of vent openings.

    Sealing Gaps and Cracks: Identify and seal any gaps or cracks in the roof structure. Use sealant or caulk to seal small openings, and consider adding weatherstripping around windows and attic access points.

    Installing Roof Insulation Panels: Roof insulation panels can be installed beneath the roofing material to provide an additional barrier against heat loss and drafts.

    Draught Proofing Benefits

    Draught proofing offers several benefits for homeowners in Scotland, including:

    Draught proofing prevents cold air from entering and warm air from escaping your home. By sealing gaps and cracks in doors, windows, and walls, it reduces the need for constant heating or cooling, leading to energy savings.

    By improving energy efficiency, draught proofing helps lower energy bills. It ensures that the heat generated by your heating system stays inside, reducing the frequency and duration of heating, especially during cold seasons.

    Draught proofing creates a more comfortable indoor environment by maintaining a consistent temperature throughout your home. It eliminates cold spots and reduces drafts, making your living spaces more pleasant.

    Using less energy for heating and cooling reduces your carbon footprint. Draught proofing contributes to environmental conservation by lowering overall energy consumption.

    Draught proofing can also help in reducing external noise. Sealing gaps in doors and windows acts as a barrier against noise pollution, creating a quieter living space.

    Draught proofing measures can protect your home from moisture and dampness, which can cause structural damage over time. By sealing openings, it helps maintain the integrity of your home’s structure.

    Consistent indoor temperatures, facilitated by draught proofing, can help preserve your furniture, carpets, and other belongings. Fluctuations in temperature and humidity can cause materials to deteriorate over time.

    Draught proofing is a relatively simple and cost-effective solution to improve energy efficiency. It requires minimal investment compared to other home improvement projects and offers significant and immediate benefits.

    Draught proofing is most effective when coupled with some form of home insulation

    Draught Proofing Cost Scotland

    Generally draught proofing is a service we provide alongside a form of home insulation. For this reason it is difficult to provide a cost for draught proofing services done on their own. If you have more information on where the gaps are in your home please get in touch and we will try to give an idea of costs if we have enough information.
