The genius of the sash window design was that it has built in draught proofing features such as the angled meeting bars. Over time and use the sash frames may become use, which means the draught can infiltrate them and cause them to rattle in winds. Draught proofing beading can be fitted to help overcome this and increase energy efficiency to up to 80%.
Improved Comfort: Draughts can create cold spots and drafts, making certain areas of your home uncomfortable, especially during the colder months. By draught-proofing your sash windows, you can enjoy a more consistent and comfortable indoor environment year-round.
Energy Efficiency: Draught-proofing is an effective way to improve the energy efficiency of your home. By sealing gaps and cracks in your windows, you can minimize heat loss and reduce the need for heating, ultimately leading to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
Noise Reduction: In addition to keeping out cold air, draught-proofing can also help reduce noise from outside, creating a quieter and more peaceful living environment.
At Charles Hall's Sash Window Repairs, we take a comprehensive approach to draught-proofing your sash windows, ensuring thorough insulation and maximum effectiveness. Our process includes:
Assessment: Our experienced technicians will conduct a thorough assessment of your sash windows to identify areas of air leakage and draught ingress.
Sealing: Using high-quality draught-proofing materials, we will seal gaps and cracks around the window frames, sashes, and glazing, preventing air from entering or escaping.
Weather Stripping: We may install weather-stripping or brush seals to create a tight seal between the sash and frame, further reducing air infiltration.
Adjustments: If necessary, we will make adjustments to the sash windows to ensure they close properly and form a tight seal when locked.
Quality Assurance: Once the draught-proofing process is complete, we will conduct a final inspection to ensure that your sash windows are effectively sealed and functioning optimally.
