Draught Proofing
Concealed sealing systems that eliminate draughts and reduce heat loss without altering your window's appearance.
Concealed Sealing System
Our draught proofing system uses specially designed brush pile and compression seals fitted into precision-routed channels in the sash frame. The system creates an airtight barrier when the window is closed while allowing the sashes to slide smoothly and freely.
Unlike stick-on foam strips that deteriorate quickly and look unsightly, our concealed system is virtually invisible and designed to last 15-20 years. It is installed without removing the windows, making it a quick, minimally disruptive solution.

Common Questions

No. Our draught proofing system is installed without removing the sashes from the frame. We work on the windows in situ, making it a quick and minimally disruptive service. A typical window takes 2-3 hours to complete.
Draught proofing typically reduces heat loss through windows by up to 50%. Combined with the elimination of cold draughts, this can result in noticeable reductions in heating costs, particularly in properties with multiple sash windows.
Yes. Our concealed draught proofing system is specifically designed to be invisible and fully reversible. It does not alter the appearance of the windows or the building fabric, and can be removed without trace if required. It is widely approved for use on listed buildings and in conservation areas.
Yes. Rattling is caused by loose sashes moving in the frame. Our draught proofing system creates a snug fit between the sashes and frame, eliminating movement and therefore rattling, while still allowing the sashes to slide smoothly for ventilation.
