Hi

My new home has gigantic sash windows in all the rooms. The light is great,
but with colder temperatures fast arriving, I've realised how draughty they
are. Does anyone have any advice on how to minimise the wind blowing
through all the gaps? I've not tackled this problem before and want to
consider all the options...

Thanks very much for any tips you can give.

If you don't fancy DIY and are in a hurry - give a company called
"Ventrolla" a call (prolly web too).

They quoted 2500 inc vat to renovate all our sash windows - but on
closer in spection they were too fargone to save "sensibly" so we
removed tehm and had sympathetic UPVC replacements (as the sash
replacements were one arm, a leg, a kidney and a re-mortgage).

Cheers
