Hello,
We live in an old house where the kitchen and the bathroom are always freezing, specially when it is windy outside. Even when the heater is running all day and night we don't feel warm or warmer.
In both of these rooms there are pipes and cables going from floor to roof and so the floor at these places let pass a lot of air.
As I noticed that there are airbricks outside which are located exactly where we can feel the cold inside, I was wondering if we could block them for a question and confort and energy saving. I would block them only for the winter season for instance with something like a wood panel which I would take away when the weather would be better.
Would it be ok?
Thanks.
