With the arrival of winter, you might find a chill in the air while walking into a particular room.
The best way to test if you have a draught in your window is to light a candle, carefully hold it steadily up to the edges of your window, and see if the flame flickers. Another technique is to close all doors, turn off any fans in the room, and look out for any free movement of your curtains.
