Why Consider Draught Proofing For Your Sash Windows

Sash windows are a quintessential feature of many period properties, offering timeless elegance and charm. However, they can also be a source of draughts, leading to increased energy bills and reduced comfort.

At Sash Window Preservation, based in Norwich, we specialise in sash window draught proofing to enhance your home's energy efficiency while preserving its historic character.

Read on to find out more about how draught proofing could benefit your home.

Enhance Comfort & Reduce Energy Bills

Draughty windows allow cold air to infiltrate your home, making interiors uncomfortable and forcing heating systems to work harder. By implementing window draught proofing, you can seal these gaps, maintaining a consistent indoor temperature. This not only enhances comfort but also leads to significant savings on energy bills. In fact, proper draught proofing can reduce air leakage from windows by up to 86%, substantially lowering heating costs.

Preserve Aesthetic & Historical Integrity

One of the primary concerns for owners of period properties is maintaining the original aesthetics of their sash windows. Our draught proofing solutions are designed to be unobtrusive, ensuring that the visual appeal and historical value of your windows remain intact. This approach allows you to enjoy modern comfort without compromising your home's heritage.

Reduce External Noise & Improve Indoor Air Quality

Sealing gaps in your sash windows not only prevents draughts but also acts as a barrier against external noise, creating a quieter and more peaceful living environment. Additionally, draught proofing helps to keep out dust and pollutants, contributing to improved indoor air quality and a healthier home.

Prevent Condensation & Mould Growth

Draughty windows can lead to increased humidity levels indoors, resulting in condensation and potential mould growth. By effectively sealing your sash windows, draught proofing helps maintain a drier environment, reducing the likelihood of condensation forming on glass surfaces. This not only protects your windows but also contributes to a healthier living space by preventing mould-related health issues.

Increase Property Value

Energy efficiency is a key consideration for potential homebuyers. Draught proofing your sash windows can enhance your home's energy rating, making it more attractive to buyers. Well-insulated and energy-efficient homes typically command higher market values, providing homeowners with a good return on their investment.
