DRAUGHT PROOFING
Sash windows have a 3mm air gap around the sashes to allow the sashes to slide past each other and operate smoothly. It is this air gap that causes the inherent problems associated with sash windows, such as draughts, rattles, dust ingress and reduced energy efficiency. By installing our High Perimeter Sealing System (HPSS) we can eliminate these problems.
Our high-performance Weatherfin Brush Pile becomes an integral part of your window, installed into the parting bead between the sashes, in the new staff beads around the window and installed directly into the mid and bottom rail of your sash windows.
Benefits of our high-performance sealing system:
- Your windows will open and close smoothly
- Increase your personal comfort
- Reduced noise levels from outside
- Improve the security of your windows
- Reduce your energy bills
- Cut your CO2 emissions
- Once professionally draught-proofed, rebalanced, and recorded, your sash windows will operate smoothly, with less rattles and significantly reduced draughts, providing you with many years of comfortable operation.
How do we install our high-performance sealing system?
- Careful dismantling of the sash window
- Weighing the sashes and checking the weights correctly counterbalance
- Routing in weatherfin brush piles to the meeting rails
- Checking, cleaning, and lubricating the pulleys
- Re-cording the window with new reinforced waxed cotton sash cord
- Renewing parting and staff beads with weatherpile carriers and weatherfin brush piles
- Removing excess paint obstructing sash running surfaces
- Re-fitting the rebalanced sashes in alignment with the beadings
- Painting all exposed timber with white primer
- Checking the draught-proofed window operates correctly
