Draught Proofing Windows Specialists in Glasgow
Draftseal Limited is a private company which was formed in 1989, specialising in the renovation and more importantly draught proofing of steel framed windows fitted to building in the fifties and sixties. Draftseal Limited developed a system using liquid silicone, which can offer a life extension to the window of at least 10 years.
Draftseal Limited is a specialist restoration company. We have been involved in prestigious restoration projects throughout Scotland and have been recommended by conservation architects such as Simpson & Brown and Page and Park. We have worked closely with these architects on distinguished properties such as Dunvegan Castle, Stirling Castle, Edinburgh Castle, Culzean Castle and National Trust for Scotland Headquarters to name but a few.
We are a nominated sub-contractor for Historic Scotland, The National Trust for Scotland and Scottish Heritage.
Our next development was to design a draught proofing system for timber sliding sash windows which is totally concealed and hence suitable for Grade 'A' listed buildings. After a development period we designed the ENCAP system, which overcame the problem associated with draught proofing systems. Another advantage is the Encap system can be over painted without compromising its integrity unlike other draught proofing, which use polypropylene pile seals, which can be contaminated with paint rendering it ineffective. A protecting patent is now in place.
Our move to a purpose built workshop and office premises in Kirkintilloch, Glasgow, has allowed us to expand our workshop capacity, to enable us to meet the increasing demand for "off site" window restorations to a wide range of buildings and homes as well as the manufacture of special replacement sashes for listed buildings where replication of the original moulding detail is essential.
