One of Silver Saints Handyman specialty is sash window draught proofing, a highly sought after service requested by thousands of London homes and offices during cold winter months. The popular sash window is the great heritage design found in millions of Georgian and Victorian homes in England that dates back as early as the 17th century; sash windows are still widely installed in many houses, apartments and buildings in England. Even though sash windows are great during summer as they can be opened to allow ventilation into the house, they can be vulnerable to prevent cold wintry drafts from entering the house during colder months.

Why is Draft Proofing Sash Windows Necessary

Changes in outdoor temperature, hot rays from the sun, strong winds and rain can cause the woodwork used in most of the sash windows to swell, distort, shrink or rot. As the wood disintegrates, it causes minor gaps between the glass panes and the window frames or bars, giving rise to leakage of outdoor draughts into the house. Sash windows require regular maintenance and inspection to ensure they are draft-proved.

Sash window draft during cold winter months can lower the temperature in the house, causing greater consumption of energy to heat up the house. Studies have shown that an energy savings of up to 15 per cent or more can be achieved in a year if draft proofing sash windows is carried out at ones house or office. Silver Saints Handyman provides the most cost-effective deal in town for draught proofing with each service covering both high quality materials and labour costs. Draught proofing can also make ones sash windows more lasting and durable in the long run. A sash window that has been draught proofed can keep the house warm and cosy for many years. In addition, eliminating the leakage of sash window draft is also an environmental friendly thing to do by reducing the use of and minimising the waste of energy consumption.

How is Draught Proofing Sash Windows Carried Out

Silver Saints Handyman has carried out draught proofing services for years and has the expertise and technology to ensure high quality of service. During each service, the sash window is carefully dismantled and examined for leakage. The surface of each glass plane and its sides are meticulously inspected to check for draft leakage potential. Then, a superior grade proofing material is applied to each affected surface area to effectively seal off any minor gaps or leaks.

Then, the lower sash is removed so that a high performance brush-pile seal is applied on the meeting rail between the upper and lower sashes. The two parting beads on both sides are also replaced with parting beads with brush-pile seals. Finally, the top and bottom rails are fitted with compressible water-resistant rubber seals. The sash window is then carefully re-installed back to its original position and tested to ensure that the sash window draught leakage is completely eliminated.
