Draught Proofing Windows

Stopping the rattling
Better thermal insulation
Improving sound insulation
Minimising dust levels

How effective is draught proofing for reducing noise?

Draught proofing can significantly reduce noise levels, typically achieving a 30-50% reduction in external noise. When combined with our acoustic glass solutions, noise reduction can be even more substantial. The exact reduction depends on your specific situation and the solutions implemented.

Is it better to replace my windows or have them draught proofed?

For heritage timber windows, draught proofing is often the most cost-effective and appropriate solution. It preserves the original character of your property while significantly improving window performance. Window replacement should only be considered when repairs are no longer viable.

Can you draught proof windows that are in poor condition?

We assess each window individually. Minor repairs can often be completed alongside draught proofing. If windows are severely damaged, we may recommend restoration work before draught proofing to ensure the best results.

Will draught proofing help reduce my energy bills?

Yes, draught proofing typically reduces heating costs by 10-20% by preventing heat loss through windows. The exact savings depend on your current heating usage and the condition of your windows before treatment.

Can draught proofing be combined with other window improvements?

Yes, draught proofing works well alongside other improvements such as thermoseal glass installation, sash window repair, window frame repainting or general window repairs. We can advise on the most effective combination of solutions for your needs.

Is there a warranty on your draught proofing work?

Yes, all our draught proofing work comes with a comprehensive warranty. We also provide ongoing support and maintenance advice to ensure your windows continue performing optimally.
