Write a Draught Sealing Guide

If you're looking to reduce your heating bills and improve your home's energy efficiency without expensive renovations, draught sealing is one of the smartest investments you can make. This Claude prompt generates a complete, step-by-step draught sealing guide tailored specifically to your property type. Whether you own a Victorian terrace, a modern apartment, a period cottage, or a bungalow, you'll get customized advice that addresses the unique draught problems common to your home's age and construction style. The guide walks you through identifying where draughts occur, selecting the right products for different situations, and installing solutions properly so they actually work and last.

To use this prompt effectively, simply replace the bracketed placeholder with your specific property type. For example, if you live in a 1970s semi-detached house, you'd write "Create a complete draught sealing guide for a 1970s semi-detached house." This tells Claude exactly what building characteristics to consider, which is crucial because a Victorian terrace has completely different draught problems than a modern open-plan bungalow. Claude will then provide recommendations that make sense for your home's actual construction, insulation levels, and common weak points.

When you run this prompt, expect to receive a comprehensive guide that covers everything from identifying draughts using the candle test or feeling for air movement, through selecting appropriate products like weatherstripping, caulk, or door sweeps, to detailed installation instructions you can follow yourself. The output is practical and actionable, not theoretical, so you can start sealing draughts immediately.

For better results, add context about which rooms bother you most or mention specific problem areas you've already noticed. Claude will then prioritize those issues in the guide and give you more detailed solutions for the draughts affecting your comfort most directly.
