Do it once... Do it right!
Sliding sash windows are considered one of the more difficult window styles to be sealed against draughts because they require a gap to slide up and down freely. There are very few DIY options (if any) that can be easily fitted and work well. A professional may remove the retainer beads and slot them out and fit a fur seal around the three sides, however this is specialized work and takes time to remove and repair the retainer beads from the removal process.
The EVS Draught seals are quick and easy to fit and provide a permanent and attractive solutions because they use durable seals and rigid profiles. The EVS solution can take as little as 10 minutes to install an attractive low profile bead and seal solution. The seals use durable brush polypropylene that is ideal for allowing the sash to slide past while maintaining a good air seal.
The final part of the DIY kit includes a V-Tape strip that fits across the top of the window and fills the top gap and can adjust in size to fit most gaps. Sometime the gap is due to being misaligned with the top sash which may require installing another rigid V-Fur seal across the top to close the gap.
Other benefits are the elimination of of the noisy rattle that a lot of double hung windows from windy days.
