What is the cost of getting your property maintenance company to redo failed foam seals? It is better to pay a little more for a quality solution and do the job properly and know that you wont have to return over and over again to fix up failed foam seals. Why are EVS Draught seals so good? Well, firstly the are rigid seals that can be fitted to cover gaps that can taper from 1mm to 10mm. They are made of materials that are durable and have been tested for over 20 years with little deterioration. Provided they are fitted correctly they should last at least 20 years.
Fanlight windows are used for providing ventilation however that are can be difficult to seal closed due to their hardware or being poorly fitted. They are also higher and can lose a lot more heat and waste energy. Follow our step by step instructions to provide your Fanlight windows with the best draught protection for ongoing peace of mind.

Mark out guide lines around the window using the small block on the sides and the wide block on the base with the window in a closed position.
You can either trim your seals between the hardware or reposition the hardware to make room for the seals. Mark the position so you can relocate it at the same height position.
Clean the edges so they are free of grease, dust and loose flaking paint. Make sure they are dry before applying the seals.
Measure between the inside faces and transfer the measurements to the back side of your Seals profiles.
Trim all the corners with 45° mitre cuts to form a nice joints using a mitre box or a mitre saw. Have the soft seal facing downwards with the back against the cutting support.

Start with your shorter lengths first and then bend and fit the longer lengths last. Use your marked line to guide your position for the final location. Make sure the corners meet nicely together.
If the hardware has to be repositioned then relocate the holes 9mm sideways on the sash face to provide the clearance for the new seals. Drill new 3mm screw holes for the hardware getting fitted onto the seal profile. Different hardware may require different fitting.
Acrylic gap filler like ‘No-More-Gaps’ can be used to fill the mitre joints. Use a damp cloth to clean the area for a tidy result.
