Woman shares clever way to ensure heat doesn’t escape from your floorboards and it will cost you less than a tenner
WE all know that stopping draughts is a quick and easy way to ensure your home stays warm this winter.
But there may be areas of your house that you’ve forgotten to block off – such as your floorboards.
Lyd took to TikTok to share the way she sealed the gaps in between her floorboards.
“PSA: The gaps in your floorboards can easily let heat out and therefore cost you more to keep your home warm,” she wrote over her video.
“This is a super easy and cheap way to fix that.”
“Its the small changes that count!” she added in the caption.

In the comments section, Lyd revealed that the product she used was called DraftEx.

DraftEx costs less than £10.

“That’s actually not a bad idea,” one person commented on the video.
“I’d be mindful that your cavity has ventilation underneath but apart from that, great idea!”
To which Lyd replied: “Totally, we’re fine and I’m only filling the large ones where I can feel the cool air.
“Defo something to look out for though!”

“Heat rises so it will at least stop cold air from coming in from below,” another added.
With Lyd responding: “That’s how I should’ve worded it!”
