Hardware retailer Screwfix is selling an affordable item that can help households prevent any frozen pipes that might happen during the colder weather.
This week has seen temperatures continue to plummet to freezing, with snowfall and ice causing major disruptions in some parts of the country.
While keeping warm is definitely a priority right now, it is worth keeping in mind other areas of the home that might be affected by the freezing temperatures, such as frozen water pipes.
Having frozen water blocking your pipes may cause your heating to stop working, meaning you may need to get a specialist out to fix it if you can't do it yourself.
While there are ways to thaw frozen pipes that anyone can do, it is worth preventing any issues in the first place by insulating the pipes with some cheap material that you can pick up from the high-street.
One such place that can help you is Screwfix, as the retailer is currently stocking a variety of cheap and easy to install pipe insulation that will prevent your pipes from freezing and bursting in this weather.
One of the cheapest that it is currently stocking is the Economy Pipe Insulation 22MM x 13MM x 1M that costs just £1.09 and is said to be provide "thermal insulation and frost protection" to your pipes.
Screwfix's high quality, flexible polyethylene pipe insulation is also described on the Screwfix website as "rot-Proof, Odourless & Non-Hydroscopic."
It currently has 197 positive reviews from shoppers and a 98% recommendation rate from previous customers who have praised the products value for money and ability to protect their pipes.
One five star review read: "Needing to insulate some hot water pipes, these were just the job. I should have done this years ago but the effects were obvious straight away."
A second read: "Good value for money. Easy task to insulate the pipes with this product."
A third wrote: "Ideal item for keeping the pipes covered from damage or the frost and looks so much neater that just a bare pipe."
While a glowing reviewer said: "Bought for external pipes from condensing central heater boiler that were freezing up in recent bad weather. Easy to fit, and proved to be up to the job."
