How Sash Window Draught Proofing Can Cut Your Energy Bills

Is your home feeling a bit chillier than it should? Those charming sash windows might be the culprits, letting in draughts and sending your heating bills sky-high. But don't worry: there's a solution that keeps the character of your home intact while boosting its energy efficiency: sash window draught proofing.

The Problem with Draughty Sash Windows

Sash windows are a beautiful feature in many homes, especially here in Glasgow. However, their traditional design can allow cold air to seep in and warm air to escape. This not only makes your home less comfortable but also forces your heating system to work overtime, leading to increased energy bills.

How Draught Proofing Works

Draught proofing involves sealing the gaps around your sash windows without affecting their functionality or appearance. At Sash Window Preservation, we use a discreet brush system that virtually eliminates draughts. This method has been shown to reduce air infiltration by up to 86%, significantly improving the thermal efficiency of your windows.

Benefits Beyond Energy Savings

While the immediate benefit of draught proofing is a warmer home and lower energy bills, there are other advantages:

●      Eliminates Rattles: No more noisy windows on windy nights.

●      Improves Functionality: Smooth operation of your windows, making them easier to open and close.

●      Preserves Aesthetics: Our draught proofing system is designed to be discreet, maintaining the classic look of your sash windows.

The Importance of Sash Cord Replacement

Over time, sash cords can wear out, leading to windows that are difficult to operate or that don't stay open. As part of our comprehensive service, we offer sash cord replacement to ensure your windows are perfectly balanced and functional. This not only enhances ease of use but also contributes to the overall energy efficiency of your home.
