Draught proofing is one of the most effective and cost- efficient upgrades you can make to period sash windows.

What Is Sash Window Draught Proofing?
Traditional sash windows have small gaps around the sashes and frames to allow movement. Over time, these gaps can increase due to wear, paint build-up, or timber movement, allowing cold air, dust, and noise to enter your home.
​
Draught proofing involves fitting discreet seals and adjusting the sashes to reduce unwanted leakage while maintaining smooth operation.
