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.

You can use common home DIY tools such as a small mitre saw with a fine tooth blade or a fine tooth handsaw. You will also need a good tape measure, screw drivers, a sharp pencil, and gap fillers
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.
The transom fanlight usually has short stay mounted on the transom that will need removed to allow the wide seal to be installed.
The Split Rail Fanlight has no transom and can be closed using a variety of catch mechanisms. The most common are the side catches that can be repositioned to allow the seal to be fitted, or trim the seals between them.
Clean the edges so they free of grease, dust and loose flaking paint. Make sure they are throughly dried before applying the edges seals.
Measure between the inside faces and transfer the measurements to the back side of your seal’s profiles. Or slightly over measure and cut so you can accurately mark the size against the seal’s profile.
You have a wide draught stop to be used for the base which is cut at 90° to fit the full width. The other narrow Draught seal is used for the sides and top with the top corners trimmed at 45° mitre cuts to form a nice joint.
Peel the beginning 10cm back tape of from your bottom section and press it firmly into marked position then pull back the rest of the backing tape and press down firmly.
You can use sealant to fill the corners for a tidy finish.
The transom stay will need to be lifted up by 9mm to allow the seal to be installed. Measure up from the old holes and drill new holes and re-fix the hardware.
The Split rail doesn't have a transom and can have a variety of other hardware solutions. You generally can fit the seals between the existing hardware or you may have reposition the hardware over the new seals by moving the catch 9mm.
