Draught Proof Your Windows By: Samantha Dale
Introduction
With the cold weather of winter comes the necessity of having to protect your home from frigid draughts and drafts. Sash windows can be particularly susceptible to allowing drafts into your home, which raises the cost of heating. To make your house more efficient and comfortable during the winter, you'll want to draft proof your sash windows. Draft proofing sash windows can help reduce heating bills, lower the noise volume from outside sources, eliminate window rattling, and of course reduce air leakage so your house is warm and snug for the winter months.
Do It Yourself
It is possible to do your own draught proofing of sash windows, but this method is usually less effective, as most homeowners do not have the necessary equipment to entirely remove sash windows and replace the necessary parts. However, for a do-it-yourself job on the quick, you can use surface-mounted rubber seals to reduce air leakage into your homes. These methods generally tend to be unsightly and an eyesore, particularly if you have the classic sash windows so characteristic in London. While this method will reduce air leakage, it's also likely to make your windows unseemly, and will not necessarily help with other problems, such as window rattling.
Hire Professionals
A sash window draft can be repaired by a professional if you choose not to do draft proofing on your own. Sash window draughts, when handled by professionals, can be significantly reduced. In addition, many people find that it is worthwhile to hire a professional because of the thorough job done, the reduction or elimination of window rattling, and the quality of the finish. When professional go to work draught proofing sash windows they follow a detailed process, which includes the entire removal of the windows and replacement of draught reducing brush piling. When professionals are handling the job it's likely that they will also check for cracked or broken glass and remove excess putty. Additionally, the draft proofing systems used are usually nearly or completely invisible once the job is completed, leaving your windows much more aesthetically pleasing.

By draft proofing sash windows you can save on heating bills, reduce air leakage, eliminate window rattling, reduce noise pollution from outside, and still maintain the classic look of your sash windows.
