Sash Window Draught Proofing & Repairs

Sash windows are attractive features on any home front but they have gained a reputation for their tendency to let draughts into a room. There are gaps around sash windows to allow them to slide up and down with ease and without too much friction. These gaps fulfill a functional role but they can let a fair amount of draught through them as well.

If you’re looking for a local company or expert in sash window draught proofing, they can provide a customised system which seals the area that lets the air through. It also does this without affecting the window’s functionality or the ease with which it can open or close. The system is also discreet and will not change or affect the aesthetic of your sash windows. It allows for a perfect compromise between form and function.

The gaps around the sash window can amount to as much as 6 square inches of space. This amount of air circulation can mean that the air changes in a room as often as three times an hour, making the temperature and comfort levels impossible to control. It also makes them expensive to maintain because the room’s thermodynamics are in constant flux and whatever warm air you have managed to accumulate is going to keep being circulated outside and transferred for more cold air.

If you love the look of your sash windows but are finding it difficult to live with the draught in your home, having Repair A Sash’s draught-proofing system can alleviate your discomfort. In addition to creating an air-tight seal around your sash windows, some of the other benefits of the system include:

  • Better insulation in your home and the ability to control the temperature more effectively.
  • Your sash windows won’t rattle and shake in high winds; they will be held securely in place no matter the force of the elements outside.
  • Your sashes will slide smoothly and easily because the fit will be customised.
  • Your levels of noise will be reduced because the draught proofing also acts as a sound barrier.
  • Your sashes will be easier to keep clean as they will not have dust and debris blowing through the gaps anymore.
  • Repair A Sash’s draught-proofing system can be used as effectively on external doors, French doors and casement doors.
