Draft Proofing for Timber Windows
Older timber windows often suffer from draughts, rattling, and heat loss. Our specialist draught proofing service improves the performance of your existing windows while preserving their original character.
​
Draught proofing is one of the most effective ways to make traditional sash and timber windows more comfortable and energy efficient without replacing them.
​
At Timber Windows & Doors Hastings, we install professional draught proofing systems that significantly reduce heat loss while improving the smooth operation of your windows.
Why Draft Proofing is Important
Many period properties still have their original timber windows, which are beautifully made but were never designed to meet modern insulation standards.
​
Professional draught proofing can dramatically improve the performance of these windows while maintaining their traditional appearance.
​
Benefits include:
✓ Reduced draughts and cold air entering your home
✓ Improved heat retention and lower energy bills
✓ Less external noise entering the property
✓ Reduced dust ingress
✓ Improved window security
✓ Smoother opening and closing of sash windows
✓ Reduced rattling caused by loose sashes
These improvements help make your home warmer, quieter and more comfortable all year round.
Draft Proofing Sash Windows
Traditional sash windows are particularly suited to draught proofing upgrades. Our process involves carefully installing discreet brush seals within the window components so they remain invisible while improving performance.
​
The draught proofing system seals the gaps that naturally exist between the moving parts of sash windows, eliminating the rattling and air leakage commonly associated with older windows.
​
Once completed, your windows will operate smoothly while maintaining their original period appearance.
Draft Proofing for Timber Windows and Doors
In addition to sash windows, we can also draught proof other types of timber windows and doors.
​
This includes:
✓ Timber casement windows
✓ Traditional sash windows
✓ Period timber doors
✓ Heritage timber frames
Each solution is tailored to the specific window or door to ensure the best possible results.
