Winterizing Your Home
Tips on Winter-Proofing Your Home
As the colder months settle in, protecting your home from the elements becomes essential. At Van Steensel Timbers, we believe that winter-proofing starts during the build—and continues with regular checks and quality materials.
Seal It Tight
During the construction phase, gaps around windows and doors should be properly sealed. A tight seal:
- Enhances energy efficiency
- Keeps your home warmer
- Reduces heating costs
- Prevents moisture ingress
We stock a wide range of door and window seals to suit every build.
Insulate Smart
Investing in high-quality insulation is key. Whether it’s bulk insulation or foil board insulation, a well-insulated home provides:
- Better thermal performance
- More consistent indoor temperatures
- Long-term energy savings
Van Steensel Timbers can supply:
- Bulk insulation for walls, roofs, and floor joist areas
- Foil board
- Expert advice to help you choose the right products
Watch for Water
Each year, it’s important to inspect for:
- Cracked roof tiles
- Poor metal roofing or aging flashings
- Any signs of water damage or mould
These issues can lead to costly repairs if left unchecked. Prevention is better—and cheaper—than the cure.
We stock and supply:
- Roofing materials
- Custom flashings
- All the hardware you need to make repairs or upgrades
