Improving comfort while preserving traditional timber windows

Artisan Sash Co provides specialist draught proofing and insulation across Somerset and Dorset. I use discreet, heritage-appropriate methods to reduce draughts, improve energy efficiency, and enhance comfort without altering the character of your windows.

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.

What Included in Draught Proofing & Insulation?

A typical draught proofing service may include:

Fitting brush seals to sashes and parting beads
Sealing gaps around frames and sills
Easing and realigning sashes for a tight, smooth fit

All materials are chosen to be durable. discreet, and sympathetic to traditional windows.
