Hi All,
We've spent the last six weeks at Mo's place while we do domestics for our son and DIL.
When we arrived it was latish September and warm. Now, at the back end of Oct. it can be decidedly chilly, so I came up with a plan.
Went to B&Q yesterday and blagged a piece of polystyrene. It measured about 4ft x 2ft x2" and was given away because one corner had been nibbled.
Got back to the 'van measured the Heki (other makes are available) and cut the poly so that it was a friction fit inside the opening. I had to do two because the poly wasn't big enough to do it in one (You might not have that problem if you can get a piece big enough to fill the entire 'hole'
I then ran a roll of gaffer tape around the circumference of both pieces to stop it snowing poly from the cut edges. The pieces were put up in the Heki held there by friction and the concertina blind that's there.
The difference in temp. and comfort was noticable and will go someway to stop the overuse of precious gas in the winter months.
During the day, the pieces can be stored under the bed.
