Sash & Casement Window Draft Proofing
There is no need to replace your period windows just simply upgrade their performance.Simple and efficient to install by our skilled teams.
Make Great Savings On Your Energy usage and contribute to the carbon reduction agenda in the UK
The English Heritage Society in the UK had this to say about Historic building problems and
SMART DRAFT can address this and provide a host of benefits for your period home.
“Older buildings are prone to heat loss through cracks and gaps which develop as various building
elements move and distort over a long period. This is often the case for windows and doors which
can be a major source of heat loss. However, less than a quarter of the heat lost through a typical
traditional window escapes by conduction through the glass, the rest is by draughts (air infiltration).
Since draughts make people feel colder, the occupants often turn up the heating and run it for
longer" ...

Learn MoreWe bought a house with period windows and very draughty windows. Having spent some time thinking about replacing our sash windows at least putting a protective film on, we thought we were looking at a huge investment (we are in a Grade 2 listed Georgian Townhouse) Then my Husband found a new way to solve the cold and a couple of other things.
I thought I knew a fair bit about old properties but I did not know the extent to which windows can be modified and protected. We found ECODRAFT who provided draft proofing which is a cheaper way to improve heat loss. The thing that clinched it for us was the quote from the English Heritage website
I saw Mark working on a neighbour’s sash windows and asked for a business card. After checking with the neighbour that they were happy with the work done by Mark I then proceeded to have our sash windows repaired by him. We have been very happy with the friendly, professional service and the completed work is excellent and even includes draughtproofing.

Eliminates Drafts
The gaps around a sash window are multiple and allow the window to be free to open. These gaps cause cold air to enter the house. Smart Draft provides an air tight cushion to all moving parts of the window and cuts all cold air

Eliminates Rattles
As winds blow against a sash window without Smart Draft the whole of the top and bottom sash can blow back and fourth creating rattles. The gaps of 2 to 3mm allow cold air and even rain water to enter the home.

Saves Energy
The amount of heat loss through the gaps in a traditional sash window can be as much as 80%. The English Heritage Society states that 80% of heat loss is through gaps.The majority of these gaps are in windows and doors.

Reduces Noise

Upgrades Historic Windows
Period properties or listed buildings generally have sash or casement windows in wood. They are often under planning restrictions so options to improve thermal efficiency are slim. SMARTDRAFT can overcome this problem.
