Hi

My new home has gigantic sash windows in all the rooms. The light is

I have loads of sash windows and it is very satisfying if a long job to
renovate them completely.
With the windows out of the frame I have fitted a product called Atomic
strip to the vertical frames where the windows move up and down. This is a
flexible metallic strip that will keep out draughts and which can be oiled
to make the windows move more easily.For the top and bottom edges I use E
section flexible rubber strip. For the joint in the middle where the windows
meet I do not use draught proofer but make certain that there are strong
catches that will pull the two windows together.

Hi!
This was a message from 2003 that I found when searching for Atomic Strip. Does anyone know where it can still be bought? Another message refers to www.chandler-akehurst as a possible source, but that seems to be a dead link now.
