Detailed Draught Proofing Process

We examine the window frames, parting beads, baton rods, and larger gaps along the meeting rails that contribute to heat loss and draughts.
- Preparation: We remove excess paint and debris from the window frame and sashes that have built up over the years to allow ease of movement of the sashes.
