Revitalising/changing upvc seals?
Hi
Can you revitalise or change easily the seals on UPVC windows. I am referring the rubber deal that sits round the edge of a Window opening and hence is the seal when you close a window. On a few of mine, there is not as much seal as on others and hence you get a small amount of wind and cold come through. This is usually at the bottom. I dont want to have to change all the windows so wondered if there is anything I can do. Scott |

ok - and the seal is actually in the main frame and not on the window
that opens like on some double glazing units. Scott Hi Can you revitalise or change easily the seals on UPVC windows.

Try having a look through here - if it's internally beaded, you can probably pop the beads out and replace the seals fairly easily (although i've never done it myself - mine have external beading...) http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/bbCMS/s...DepartmentId=4 |
