Why is it important to replace damaged window seals?

Replacing damaged window seals is crucial to maintain your windows' insulation, prevent drafts, and avoid condensation between panes, which keeps your home comfortable and energy efficient.

  • Window seals trap insulating gas like argon between panes and maintain airtightness.
  • Damaged seals let moisture in, causing foggy windows and heat loss.
  • Failed seals increase heating costs as your system works harder.
  • Seal lifespan ranges from 10 to 20 years, affected by climate and maintenance.
  • Professional replacement costs typically range from £150 to £500 per window.
