 It's just because that it that heavy that has restricted the floor feet into the house and you feel different from the surrounding if it is cold outside then the cold air will not grow inside your house and that keeps your house and saying in the summer hot air does not showing side does your room stays cold

DEAR STUDENT,
ALL THE DRAPES DO, IS TO MAINTAIN THETEMPERATURE  INSIDE THE ROOM , BE IT HOT OR COLD, JUST AS IN THERMOS FLASK, IF YOU POUR COLD WATER IT REMAINS COLD, AND IF HOT WATER IS POURED INTO IT IT REMAINS HOT, SINCE THE WALLS OF THE THERMOS WELL INSULATE THE MATERIAL INSIDE THE THERMOUS.
 
SIMILARLY, DRAPES OBSTRUCT HEAT FLOW, TO INSIDE OR OUT DEPENDING ON SEASON AND HENCE MAINTAINS CONSTANT TEMPERATURE INSIDE ROOM.
