Winter Home Essentials

Draught proofing starts with the windows. Our magnetic secondary glazing kits add a clear panel inside the frame, held on with 20mm magnetic tape. You lose less heat, hear less of the street and see less condensation on the glass. The panel lifts off when you want to open the window. For windows that stay shut all winter, the permanent DIY kit fixes in place instead. Custom kits are cut to your measurements with an instant price online, so allow 7 to 10 working days for those.

Doorways come next. A magnetic thermal insulated door curtain hangs inside the frame and fits with adhesive Velcro or pins. Pets and children can walk straight through it, and it suits front and back doors, patio doors and campervans.

For unused metal vents, a flexible magnetic sheet cut to size makes a neat cover that peels off again in spring. A rattling letterbox needs only a short magnetic strip, and our letterbox guide shows you how.

Burning reclaimed timber leaves nails and screws behind in the ash. Once the stove has cooled, our 350mm wood stove retrieval magnet keeps your hand well clear while it collects the metal. Flick the switchable release and it all drops straight into the bin.

Between school letters, Christmas cards and the bin collection rota, the fridge door fills up fast in December. A magnetic board in the hallway or a magnetic meal planner on the fridge keeps it all in one place.
