Draught proofing is the process of sealing your home against air leakage. Air leakage causes draughts, resulting in cold surfaces and uncomfortable rooms. Excess heat is quickly lost through gaps in sashes, seats and other areas, which can lead to condensation and mould within your home. If your home has been draught-proofed you can be confident that the hot air from your living space won’t be lost to the outside world. Draught Proofing: At its simplest level involves sealing gaps and cracks around doors and windows with a foam or silicone based sealant.
At Trade Timber Windows and Doors Brighton, we install draught proofing strips on all popular window profiles and types including traditional sash windows.

Biting cold draughts coming in through old window seals are a telltale sign of sash window draughts. Whether it’s a loose screw or a piece of rotten wood, if the seal around your sash windows is damaged then you can be sure that warmth will be escaping in winter and cool air will be seeping in during summer.
The window seals are designed to separate the inside of your home from the cold, wet weather outside. If they are not fitted correctly and have been damaged in any way, air will pass through them as you draw the sash up or down. You may have noticed draughts entering around the base of your sash windows as you open and close them. This is caused by damage to the window seals.
Old window frames can be the source of draughts. With parts moving or failing over time warping, cracking, or splitting may all prove to be the cause of draughts in older buildings.
While modern window frames are made from sturdy materials and with care taken on production lines to ensure compatibility, there’s no denying that nails can loosen. When this happens it allows air to leak in along the sides and underneath the frame.
Don’t let a draughty sash window ruin your home. A draught may seem like such a small issue but it can have a huge impact on the temperature of your home. If left untreated over time, it can cause damage to your frame and lead to more expensive problems.
Draughts around sash windows are often caused by poor installation. The problem may be with the incorrect or poor fitting of the bottom rail, which can stop the sashes from closing properly. Another cause can be if the central mullion (vertical piece) is not fitted tightly against the top and bottom sash frame.
Damaged sash windows, such as warped or damaged wood frames or cracked glass can leak and disrupt the seal between the two sections of the window. This is one of the most common causes of draughts from your sash windows.
Draught proofing seals help improve energy efficiency by stopping cold air from entering the property through unsecured or worn windows. If you haven’t checked your windows recently, it’s probably worth giving them a quick check over because a draught can account for up to 10% of your annual fuel bill.
If you are experiencing any of the above, it’s best to contact us on 01273 257 597. We’ll check whether any missing or damaged pieces are to blame and suggest how they may be fixed.
Draught proofing your sash windows can reduce heat loss by up to 50% and draughts by up to 95%. That could save you money on energy bills all year-round. You’ll be surprised at how adding draught-proofing will give your property a much warmer, cosier, and more comfortable feel to it.
Draught-proofing your sash windows will undoubtedly eliminate draught, rattling, and wobbling in sashes. It’s the most economical method of providing you with a home that is comfortable all year round. Draught Proofing will effectively remove draughts and stopping noise transmission, by adding 50mm to around 75mm of insulation to your Sash Windows.
Draught proofing also improves the soundproofing from outside noises. Sash windows that are not draught-proofed can let in a lot of noise from outside, you’ll be able to hear everything that is happening on the street. Draft proofing helps to block outside sounds which will help your children get a better night’s sleep!
Having draught-proofed windows installed will help you create a healthier home since it stops air leaks that can allow in harmful dust and allergens. It will also reduce the risk of condensation and mould, which can damage your home’s structure and make it dangerous to live in.
Britain is in the grips of an energy crisis. Fuel prices are higher than ever and soaring costs threaten a life-or-death struggle with gas suppliers. And with many homes still not back to pre-global-warming levels of insulation, energy bills are set to rocket further in the coming months. So make the right move now and take steps to make your home safer and more sustainable for years to come by contacting Trade Timber Windows and Doors Brighton.
