Carpets on walls offer practical insulation for homes

Carpets on walls, once hung for decoration, are now a practical solution for home insulation during cold weather. These dense, plush coverings act as natural thermal insulation, reducing heat loss through walls and blocking drafts, especially in older homes with poor heating. They also offer acoustic benefits by softening sound. This practice, reminiscent of past decades, is gaining renewed relevance as Ukrainians face potential heating disruptions due to energy system attacks.
