Thinking ahead when I get the stiles ready for morticing, what would be the best solution for draught excluding?
I've got a sample pack from Reddish seals of their brush type excluder but I'm wondering whether this is the best solution as the clearances need to be quite tight and consistent around the sash. Also the frames would be painted so would the brush gradually wear the paint off.
I'm familiar with the EPDM self adhesive strip type from Stormguard which has 3 small blades along them to aid compression and sealing which you stick to the frame recess on which the sash would close against. Having used cheap foam excluder which eventually sticks to the opening sash and pulls off whether these would last.
Is there any other alternatives worth considering.
