Hello! Its getting damn cold, and im begining to notice more cold draughts in the house.
1- We have a extractor hood in the kitchen and the ventilation pipe which is round is fed to a rectangular vent between the joist upstairs. We recently had carpet fitted and when the carpet was up i noticed a cold draught coming through the floorboards.
My questions is can i buy a one way vent that can be placed outside so the air from the extractor can flow out but no cold air in when the extractor isnt being used?
2- In the 3rd bedroom, there is a silver vent which when removed exposes a large cavity in the wall which on the other side has a outdoor grill/vent.
This room is really cold, even with the heating on max. My second question is, why is this vent there? there isnt any vents like this in any other room? Can i block it up, if so what would be the best way?
