sealing around double glazed windows
 

My double glazed windows are only sealed around the top and sides. Is
there any reason (apart from builder laziness) why they aren't sealed
underneath? There is definately a draft coming in underneath so I
suspect that it's meant to be sealed.

Thought I'd check the collective uk.d-i-y wisdom before I go and do it
myself.

Thanks

Thought not. Thanks. I went for a quick down the road and took a look at
some of the neighbours double glazing and it was 4 houses sealed, 2 not
so the seals have it.

Maybe you need the ventilation.

Is that a bank draft, some sort of animal, a document "in the rough",
a horde of squaddies coming through your windows, or what? FCS.

One of my DG units at work is now a single glazed unit
