It used to hurt walking on the carpet at nights it was so cold, but not any more :) That's on our to do list as well. :thumbs: Only trouble is its crawl under the house, not a lot of room to get excited - found that out when running Cat5 everywhere :) One of my customers did his house a while back with that Expol --- Holy crap, you noticed it OK. When I was at his place he said only half the house had been done at the time, you could tell where he had gotten to. When walking in the rooms that had been done it was nice and warm even without a heater on, when in the places he hadn't done the floor & rooms were noticeably colder.	wainuitech (129)

Pelmets help stop this, ...[/QUOTE] Yes pelmets help but not much. The flutes on the drapes cause a poor air seal top and bottom When we shifted into our current house we inherited top-fixed curtain tracks where there used to be net curtains. I used these for an extra layer of thermal lining as in the photo. The results were surprisingly good: Outside: 10 deg Windowsill: 12 deg Room: 21 deg Only 2 deg between the windowsill and the outside shows how good the seal is And very cheap - Mrs Micro sewed on the tape	BBCmicro (15761)
