Draught Proofing
Tired of chilly draughts invading your home through those beautiful yet problematic sash windows? Draught proofing is a cost-effective, energy-efficient way to drastically improve both thermal and acoustic insulation.
The Work
We fit staff and parting beads inlaid with draught pile, and fit draught pile to the meeting point of the two sashes — creating an all-round seal and ensuring smooth movement. Experience the warmth of a draught-free home while preserving the charm of your sash windows.
Common signs you need this
