Window glazing film?

[NewBootsAndRanty]

I've got draughty floor level single glazed sash windows throughout my flat which only open on the bottom half.

The kitchen and bedroom have one window each, and there are two in the living room. French doors in the bathroom that I can't open at the minute and have a gap of about a mm in the middle of the two doors (unlikely to get sorted soon).

I'm going to get some of that secondary glazing film to try keep the draughts out a bit.

I'm trying to work out where I'm going to need to apply film and where I'm not -does it sound reasonable to do the bedroom and the front room windows?

I'll need to open windows to ventilate the kitchen/guess I should leave the gap in the bathroom doors for the same reasons? I don't have extractor fans for either.

Will it be OK to leave the bedroom and both front room windows sealed shut all winter?
My flat's got a history of black mould and I don't want to encourage it.

Thanks in advance!

Get thick curtains

You have a history of black mould & you don't have fans?🤔

Extractor fans? Nope. My l/l never installed any.

Looking at thick curtains on ebay now!

A pair of cheap tights stuffed with newspaper make a good, cheap and easy to replace draught excluder. No reason why you couldn’t hang on (sellotape?) on the French doors to cover the gap. Just re stuff if it does get damp.

I would do as many windows as you can with the pack you get, see if you can work out where to apply it so that windows still open

Good suggestion. Maybe use self adhesive Velcro strips so that you can remove when cooking/showering etc and then replace once steam has cleared?

Folded up newspaper and masking tape are good for filling up the gaps in windows.

I've made draught excluders from tights stuffed with the inside of an old pillow.
Everything gets re-used here.
