A very informative film from English Heritage about all aspects of Sash Windows in 2011

English Heritage Prove The Impact Of Draughts

English Heritage funded research at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) into the thermal performance of traditional timber sash windows. They estimated that air leakages are responsible for over 60% of the overall heat loss through sash windows that are badly fitted (they rattle) and in need of repair.  This would be reduced to less than 20% of the heat loss if the windows incorporate a draught proofing system. We like this video; it gives a strong explanation of  common issues faced by sash windows owners across the UK. Should you install double glazing, secondary glazing? Or will draught proofing your windows simply be enough? All are highly effective.
