Hi,
I'm after some advice on fitting the staff beads to a new sash window. I am renovating my 120 year old house and removed a modern door to a juliet balcony and partially bricked it up and fitted a new sash window to match the original existing ones. The window is fitted and painted but I was left to fit the internal staff beads (can't remember why as the window was fitted months ago - for painting I think).
Anyway my mate has given me some sort of brush seal that slides into a small plastic T track when he was round the other day and I want to know if it is worth fitting it and how. The older windows don't have any of this, but I am thinking it might be worth fitting to cut down on any draughts. Do I need to route a small rebate to get the 'track' flush in the staff beads and should I glue them in?
Any advice appreciated. Thanks
