Methods of Draft Proofing

  • Brush Pile Strips: Flexible strips with bristles that block gaps but allow the sash to move freely.
  • Rubber Seals: Applied to the edges of the frame where the sash meets the frame, providing an airtight seal.
  • Parting Beads: A strip inserted into the window frame, ensuring a tight seal where the two sashes meet.
  • Draught Excluder: This can be applied to the meeting rails and sills to prevent air from entering around the edges.
  • Secondary Glazing: An additional glass layer added to the inside of the window can drastically improve insulation.

Benefits of Professional Installation

  • A professional can ensure a perfect fit and identify areas that need attention. They can also provide a long-term solution without compromising the window’s ease of operation.
  • Professionals often use specialized tools and materials like draft-proofing brushes, silicone seals, or precision-machined parts that ensure proper function and a clean finish.
