The Draftseal ENCAP™ System

Our ENCAP™ system has been designed to offer the most advanced draughtproofing system for timber double hung sliding sash windows. It is totally concealed within the sash frame and is ideally suited for use on listed buildings or other properties where the original design details and character must be retained. In many instances this offers a cost effective alternative to replacement windows.

The ENCAP™ system uses an open cell structure urethane foam encapsulated in a polypropylene sheath which has many advantages over traditional brush or pile seals. In this application it's ability to remain flexible even after over-painting with gloss paint is one of its more important advantages over other seals which tend to harden and become ineffectual under these conditions. The ability to return to its original shape after compression and low coefficient to friction make it the ideal seal for this application.
