Winter is swiftly approaching. We can all feel it can't we?! The morning dew is more like frost and there is a tingle in the air that signifies the coming of winter... Nights are getting darker sooner, and mornings are generally a pretty miserable affair... It's also that time of year when hot chocolate sales surge and the hedgehogs get ready to go for a prolonged nap... #Jealous #I-want-to-be-a-hedgehog.
But in the home there are certain steps that you can take to ensure you have winter proofed your home. For example, it would be initially wise to get up on the roof and have a look at the guttering. Last thing you need in mid December is a blocked drainage gutter. Get up there sooner rather than later to check for any build ups or blockages prior to the inevitable fall - it really can save you time, money and potential damage. When the ice comes it's only going to be harder to clean up any debris. Furthermore, if the gutters are full of rotting leaves, water can back up against the house, subsequently damaging the roof. This can cause pools of frozen water and may dampen the exterior walls of the house.
It is also advised to disconnect any external hoses or pipes. If the pipes freeze, they may expand as the ice sets, causing burst pipes and potential flooding. Precaution is the best approach, after all as Paul Blart would say 'safety never takes a Holiday'!
Secondly, if you live in a colder area, or perhaps in an older house, it could be a good idea to assess how air tight your windows and door frames are. If there is a significant gap in the frames, it is advised to reapply exterior caulk. Immune to the elements, silicone caulk is waterproof, shrinking proof and immune to the elements! A wonder of a product that really does help with insulation!
Do you burn a log fire over winter? Before you get the fire going check that the chimney vents and passages are clear. It may be worthwhile getting in a professional chimney sweep to tackle this. A clear chimney will prevent chimney fires and subsequently carbon monoxide from creeping into your home.
Lastly, have you considered how you shall dry your clothes this winter? If you do not have one already, the Sheila Maid® clothes airer is the perfect solution to indoor drying, especially when you can't get your washing outside on the line. Instead of cooking your clothes like the electric dryer, the Sheila Maid® allows the user to make use of the naturally rising warm air from within the home. This economic solution is based on the Victorian pulley system, and is a favourite among UK homes! The Sheila Maid® is easy to assemble and provides a stylish edition to the home! The Sheila Maid® can be purchased here!
This concludes our checklist of winter preparations... Hopefully it will be a useful reference point for winter proofing your home! Do you have any tips for winter that you would like to share? Why not comment on our Facebook page!
As the summer months approach, the indoor dryers can take a sigh of relief as their long and strenuous winter shift is now coming to a conclusion. Soon, households across the UK can expect to dry their laundry outside in the glorious summer sunshine - one problem... that statement is complete fiction and the weather this summer will probably be like last summer... grey, rainy and miserable with unpredictable 'sunny spells'.
But fear not, for we showcase to you, The Sheila Maid ® clothes airer. Dispatched from our factory in Angus, the Sheila Maid ® clothes airer is a brand that was established over 40 years ago and today is the most iconic ceiling hanging clothes airer in the world.
In Scotland it is known as a pulley, in England as a creel and in the USA a Sheila Maid. Though terminology may differ - there is one universal language; the Sheila Maid is an economical and reliable airer!
The Sheila Maid ® looks stylish, the brackets come in a variety of colours and there are multiple lengths and sizes to accommodate even the smallest space. You don't need to have a medieval pantry or a laundry room to reap the rewards from one of these! They look quite at home in any modern kitchen, which is surprising considering airing pulleys have been around since the Victorian era - and the concept has hardly changed!
But there are more than one singular use for a Sheila Maid ® airer! With the addition of 'S' hooks, it is possible to hang pans and kitchen utensils. Furthermore, the Sheila Maid could be installed in the garden shed, and used to tie flowers or herbs and hanging baskets as so to keep them safe, elevated from the shed floor. Tools could also be mounted on the rails of the Sheila Maid ® and thus, there is more than just one use for this traditional airer. Sheila Maid ® also stock a variety of spares and replacements such as the newly launched premium jute rope which is longer than the standard rope and is made from natural fibres. Extras can really enhance your ceiling airer and give the user the opportunity to customise the airer to their preferred spec.
But let's not forget the Sheila Maid's core responsibility - and that is to embrace the role of a domestic fairy godmother and to ensure your beloved garments are drying efficiently! By choosing the Sheila Maid ceiling airer you are helping the environment by reducing your carbon footprint, and saving money. No more expensive tumble-drying, and no more 'cooked' clothes. There is nothing worse than buying a new top only for it to be creased and crinkled after the first wash!
Make the most of the space in your home by installing a Sheila Maid ® pulley airer. The ceiling airer hoists your laundry out of the way, (no more awkward floor-standing clothes dryers to trip over) and allows warm air to rise naturally - drying your clothes in 'no time at all'. You will never need to place a damp item on a radiator again - it really is healthier, cheaper and kinder to the environment.
