Draughts are a common complaint with older sliding sash and case windows. A purpose-designed draught-proofing system can improve comfort while allowing the original windows to remain operational.
How Sash Window Draught Proofing Works
Traditional windows need clearance so the sashes can slide. Over time, wear and movement can increase unwanted air leakage. Draught-proofing uses discreet seals at appropriate points around the moving sashes to reduce these gaps without simply sealing the window shut.
Part of a Wider Window Overhaul
The best result depends on the condition of the window. Loose joints, defective cords, damaged timber or poorly fitting sashes may need attention as part of the work. Glazing and putty condition should also be considered where defects are present.
Retain Your Existing Sash Windows
Draught-proofing is often chosen by owners who want to improve day-to-day comfort without replacing traditional timber windows. It can be combined with other repair and restoration work where required.
