So far the best demonstration. I have different windows but the explanation here is clear on what to look for. Great tips. Thank you

@muffin535 9 месяцев назад

Great informative video. I wonder how many people have been talked into having new windows fitted. When all they needed to do was put new seals in.

@Wild-Storm 9 месяцев назад

That is by far the best explanation and demonstration. Thanks for your time and effort

To quote Kenny Rogers, "You picked a fine time to fit the new seal..." Thanks for the tip!

@AbouttheHouse0 2 года назад

Ha ha, my window seals are all 20 years old and really these seals are only good for a decade, maybe 12 years. I engineered door and window seals into Discovery 2 - I really should have done this some years ago (but then I wouldn't have been making this video, lol)

@Umski 9 месяцев назад

Thanks, I hadn't even considered this as a draught source - I'd already replaced all the glazing with lower u-value units and that has made a huge difference but have now noticed where the seals on the opening windows are not quite perfect allowing condensation to form when it's very cold - I'll be measuring up for new seals 👍

@TheMaggie1954 6 месяцев назад

Thank you very much for this wonderful, understandable demonstration

@Average_Welsh_Sim_Farmer 2 года назад

Additional tip: If it’s cold on the day you plan to change then rubber seal or it has been stored in a cold place. Put the new seal in a bucket of warm, soapy water for 15 mins before you start to make the rubber more compliant.

Cheers bud

@AbouttheHouse0 2 года назад

Yes, indeed. OR keep the seal roll in a warm place indoors for a couple of days before fitting (eg airing cupboard). Thanks for sharing.

Great video, thanks!!

@loled123 Год назад

The diagram at 5:10 and using a hex key to jury rig the correct size is a good touch.

@Chardonbois 6 месяцев назад

Brilliantly hepful video. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

@AbouttheHouse0 4 месяца назад

Why, thank you sir. I'm a professional Automotive Engineer, so I used my engineering skills to work out how to fix mine and then shared it. 'Expertise' is probably over egging it a bit, but thank you.

@nickuk1978 8 месяцев назад

Good tip on the hex keys! Thanks. Clear advice.

@philmorris2041 Год назад

I was hoping to see how to go around the corners as the existing seal has nicks taken out so it does the bend better.

@babunathbalakrishnan9678 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for this. Can you do a similar video for sliding pvc doors

@migounane7162 2 года назад

Thank you that is very well explained

@AbouttheHouse0 2 года назад

Glad it was helpful!

@sallyodonnell4364 2 года назад

Really useful thank you, please can I ask how you did the top corners? I'm not sure if I need to cut a notch to get the seal around the corner (which is what my current drafty ones look like) or if the seal is flexible enough to just bend around?

@ukgardener973 Год назад

Thanks

@mistrysaiom2051 Год назад

Thanks v.much this was really useful.

@georgeyoung8723 Месяц назад

Everything perfect except when you have a single gasket all the way around you should start in the centre at the "top" of the window not the bottom. Any water that hits the pane of glass will travel down so to have a join at the bottom leave the possibility of water penetration.👍🏻

@DJKav 4 месяца назад

Can you change the seal type to a different one? I have a 7 shape rubber seal and would like to change it to an O type, to see if it helps reduce main road traffic noise outside of the rear.

@grandplanesight2351 Год назад

Excellent

@dawnbedwell8501 Год назад

Hi can you swap a flat seal to a bubble seal as we have a lot of air and water coming through this winter the seals looked ok in the summer not been done at all in 20 years

@mylesgoward5954 Год назад

Did you ever find out?

@aaronhall5796 Год назад

Id like to know this too

@andreasprocopiou3859 Год назад

Great advice 👍

@davidwilson651 9 месяцев назад

Firstly they are not patio doors they are french doors, patio doors slide. Try doing that off a ladder. I've been in this business for forty years and do all kinds of repairs. Can't wait for the next video.

@danfdz7862 Год назад

@anz3786 Год назад

@makerofchippings2948 11 месяцев назад

What about going around the corners. Does it need cutting

@christ806 2 года назад

Nice 1 bud 👍

@AbouttheHouse0 2 года назад

Replacing the seals on the back door, kitchen windows and patio doors has made a huge difference - AND these are all on the leeward side of the house. Next week I'm gonna work my way through doing all the windows on the front of the house, which is the windward side. Energy prices going the way they are, makes it so much more worthwhile than ever before.

@christ806 2 года назад

@@AbouttheHouse0 yes its drfinetly a job ive got to do,,, thanks for all the advice on the St Moritz hot tub aswell,,, Awsome and thankyou again. 🙂👍

@NeilD163 9 месяцев назад

I had two windows that were really draughty, took a look at the seals and found that there was over an inch long gap between the seal ends, had some spare seal so measured and cut the size needed to fill the gap and presto! no more draught.

@kalelkar Год назад

I've got a flipper seal gasket instead of the tube ones. Are tubes better than flipper? Looking to replace the seals and I am wondering if I should go for a like-for-like or whether to go with the (Stormguard universal) tube ones?

@manchesterisred318 11 месяцев назад

I have a bit of a hole in the seal in the glass and theres water running down the window. Can i change that?

Hi. Great post. Where can I get a seal to fit the profile of my uPVC door?

@patandderry8416 Год назад

I did this but about 10 years after it should have been done. The rubber was like plastic and I was having to pick little bits of rubber out of the groove.

@yasardarez1795 2 года назад

my window is similar to yours top hung and handle at bottom. Seal is okay all around apart from 1 corner to the right side of where the handle is. For some reason there is a considerable gap compared to rest of window? Is this the seal?
