Introduction
Draught Proofing
Traditional timber sash windows were originally constructed with room to expand and contract in changing temperatures. It’s this space between the sash and the frame which allows draughts to occur. However, subtle modern draught proofing techniques mean this need not be the case! Once installed good draught proofing;
• Reduces heat loss & energy bills considerably
• Improves your home energy rating
• Helps reduce outside noise penetration
• Allows easy opening and closing of windows
• Prevents inherent “rattles”
• Adds further protection against water penetration
The energy saving trust estimates that approximately 20% of heat loss in a home is through ventilation and draughts. By having your home draught proofed you not only save on your fuel bills but can potentially reduce yourhousehold CO2 expenditure by
around 150kg.

Fully functional sash windows are unquestionably one of the most handsome and striking architectural feature of any period property. On a commercial level this is confirmed by any estate agent worth their salt.
Unfortunately due to their original construction methods and associated problems many have been painted closed, fallen into disrepair or in the worse case scenario, ripped out and replaced with an ugly plastic replacement.
Almost all parts of a box sash window can be repaired or replaced at a fraction of the cost of replacement windows.
Renovation of existing windows greatly improves the appearance of your home whilst maintaining its architectural integrity and increasing its security and saleability.
Draught proofing will eliminate draughts coming into your home and warmth escaping – not only increasing the energy efficiency rating of your home but save you £££’s on fuel bills as well as reduce you household carbon footprint.
