Improve thermal insulation - increase property value".

Many of the properties built in Bocholt in the 1950s to 1970s have great potential for upgrading. Even small steps can sometimes have a big effect, for example by sealing window frames, targeted insulation, encasing pipes or installing solar collectors. A lot can also be done on one's own.

With the help of the 1500 ThermoCards that were distributed in Bocholt last week, many homeowners can become detectives in their own homes. The aim is to check the building fabric and detect cold areas on the inside of exterior walls. Anyone who enjoys investigating and optimising is invited to the event.
