Draught proofing upgrades the performance of your windows in the following ways;- Eliminates draughts Keeps the home warm and the cold out Reduces noise Reduces dirt and dust ingress Prevents ra les Ease of use on windows Will not alter the appearance of your window and property Sash windows have a small gap around the windows to allow the sashes to slide past each other and operate smoothly. It is this gap that causes the problems associated with sash windows, such as draughts, ra les, dust ingress and reduced energy efficiency. By installing Rediseals we can draught proof your sash windows and eliminate these problems without affec ng opera on or how they look. We also carry out draught proofing on front and back doors. These areas are prone to heat loss. Draught proofing your windows involves rou ng out a groove of the mid and bo om rail, also the baton rods. We then insert a Reddiseals weather pile into the sashes, baton rods of the window. Our draught pile comes in different lengths to fit different gaps. We always use the original baton rod mber and rarely use new wood.
