Many Victorian and Edwardian homes have suspended Many Victorian and Edwardian homes have suspended timber floors, which can let in chilly draughts through the gaps between boards - not great for warm toes! 🧦

For a quick fix use a purpose-made draught tape. It’s easy to fit, no mess, no tools. You’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.

Less draughts will also make your home more energy efficient.
An Oriel window is essentially a bay window found An Oriel window is essentially a bay window found on upper storeys that appears to ‘float’ on supporting brackets. They were especially popular in late Victorian and Edwardian houses and can often be spotted on 1930s homes too, sometimes looking a little out of place on the “free” corner of a semi-detached pair!

Oriel windows are still popular and can add real character to a building. They can make fabulous window seats in modern buildings. 

Cracks or slight movement can occur in any type of bay window and should always be checked, but most issues can be remedied quite easily - and often prevented with a little routine maintenance.

Next time you’re out and about, see if you can spot an oriel window!
