When it comes to draught proofing sash windows in London, The London Sash Window Company is the trusted name you can rely on. Our team of experts is passionate about preserving the elegance and functionality of these traditional windows. We understand that your sash windows are vital to your home’s character. That’s why our draught proofing sash windows service is designed to be invisible, enhancing your home’s comfort without compromising its aesthetic appeal. Through meticulous sealing techniques and weatherproofing solutions, we eliminate draughts, reduce moisture ingress, and improve energy efficiency, creating a warmer, more comfortable living environment.
How to draught-proof sash windows in London
There are several ways to improve the draught proofing of your sash windows. A professional service like ours can provide a comprehensive solution that could include the following:
-
Replacing worn seals
Over time, the seals around your sash windows can deteriorate and become less effective. Replacing these seals with high-quality draught proofing materials such as weatherstripping or gaskets can significantly improve energy efficiency and insulation.
-
Checking for gaps
Look for any gaps between the sashes and the window frame. These gaps can be sealed with brush piles, wedge strips, or other draught proofing materials like foam, silicone, or plastic. Proper sealing will help to reduce moisture ingress and improve overall thermal insulation.
-
Ensuring proper closing
Make sure your sashes close flush against the frame. Misaligned or warped sashes may require adjustment or repair, potentially including retrofit solutions such as replacing hinges or adding beads. This ensures proper weatherproofing and helps with noise reduction.
High-quality sash window draught proofing materials
Our draught proofing system is virtually invisible yet highly effective, providing a seamless solution for improved insulation and comfort in your home. Brush piles featuring resilient felt or brush strips are carefully attached to the sash or frame to create a tight, draught-proof seal. With their self-adhesive application, discreet draught excluders seamlessly address gaps around the window frame, offering enhanced thermal insulation and preventing moisture or cold air from entering. We use high-quality draught proofing materials such as foam, wool, and mineral wool to fill small gaps, ensuring a comprehensive, long-lasting solution. These materials work together to reduce energy loss and improve efficiency, offering a comfortable and well-insulated living space.
