How to cure leaking and draughty Velux windows.

[@Tomstefanbecker]

Super helpful thanks! Made a slight difference to the decibel level as I live on a main road, cheap and easy job to do.

Moved into a new house. My pc is right under a velux window that is drafty. Just looked at the handle flap and there is little to no foam! Thanks for the video. I'm ordering some foam tape as we speak!

Brilliant. Thank you for this!

I bought the eBay strip and fitted it. The seal is harder and not a good at sealing the draught as the original Velux type which is softer and beds better for a draught proof seal. So spend a bit more and get the genuine article that really is more effective than these cheaper varieties would be my advice.

I have 3 big velux and 1 small velux windows. What size/width/thickness of foam strips should I buy to replace my existing foam seals ? Thanks

I've replaced mine but sadly there is still a draft 😢 any ideas

My handle wont go all the way closed, it seems to be jammed but I can’t see anything that’s getting in the way. The window holds shut but there’s a slight gap and a draught comes in. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks

Hinges need oiling, the window is sitting too low in the frame, normally caused by dry hinges. Good spray with WD40, etc.

Do you have the link you bought it from on eBay?
