How to replace UPVC window seals to stop cold air draughts!

[@alext1165]

This is the most useful channel on youtube, absolute class

[@FixitwithFowler]

That an amazing comment, thanks 😁😁

[@critical_mass8279]

Thanks for this. Very money saving advice. I have one window to do, problem is its a third floor window. So cant do it outside.

[@FixitwithFowler]

You could do the seal on the frame, though, or if you're feeling brave, you could get someone to help you hold the window whilst you unscrew it!

[@neilhurley3995]

Good video. 1 thing to add - the seal you're using is known as offset bubble seal. The 'fatter' part of the bubble should be installed towards the outer edge of whatever you're installing it to. This ensures more surface area/sealing contact when the window or door is closed 👍 Keep up the good work Fowler.

[@FixitwithFowler]

Great video! Pretty straight forward but gave me the confidence to do it myself. My only question is: is there a knack for the corners? My seals tends to fold outward when i go round the corner, whereas yours look much flatter.

[@Jayne.66]

I knew you could do this!!! People were telling me no you cant, you have to replace the whole window!!😮

[@FixitwithFowler]

Im glad you liked the video and found it helpful. You don't need to remove the window to change the seals but it does make it easier!

[@geoffreycoan]

Seems a straight forward job. I was surprised that the corners were not cut to form the shape better, but that risks letting water in, so if you can get them round the radius, it’ll be better. One thing I would caution though is to be prepared for the weight of the window if you’re unscrewing it. They can be very heavy and it’s easy to bend or deform the hinges when they’re partially attached. Been there, done that, …

[@FixitwithFowler]

Yeah, i agree about the weight of the window. However, this can be done without taking the window out!

I got new windows fitted last September, they are shocking, I was fitter around Glasgow / Central Belt area for 3 years back around 2007 - when the installers left I had a good lookover their work, they did do a decent job tbf all bar the inside of one window, that one window was done by Stevie Wonder ''some random fitter that showed up'' the silicone job he done was really terrible, something I'll address when I decorate next time, I have a double window in the living room and one of them makes a very annoying noise when it's windy, had a few return visits but I'm now sick of hearing the crap they talk. When the weather improves I'll fix that window myself. Been flicking through some of Yur videos fella as every day's a school day. Thanks and Sub'd

[@maddiec5341]

Great channel for DIY thanks. Its the little tips like where to start and finish the new seals that make the difference. I would have to leave the window in situ as i'm on my own so would struggle with the weight, only more of a problem with upper floor windows getting eady access, but i suppose undoing the hinge would allow wider opening. Yay!

[@FixitwithFowler]

Hi, you can do this with the window in place, but it can be a bit harder to fit the seals. Hopefully, it will make a big difference to the windows!

Very helpful. I'm going through the process to buy my council house. Apparently I would have to wait another 20 years, for new windows, as a tenant. I'm going to try this cheaper option before buying new ones. Although I suspect the draught is from the inner seals.

Living on the third floor of an apartment building I’m not certain if I could confidently remove the window to replace the seals. Your video has the advantage of being on the ground floor.

[@FixitwithFowler]

Yeah you have a lot to lose if you drop it. Maybe get someone to help hold it and even attach a rope through the hinges for added security?

[@neilhurley3995]

Important safety note: because hinges take the load well and we casually open/close windows with ease it's easy to forget these things can be heavy! Double glazing weighs around 20kg per sqm. Add to that the frame and locking mech (and perhaps lead!) and you could soon be hanging out of an upstairs window with a casement that weighs the same as a full suitcase - at arms length. You won't know how much it weighs until you've removed your last screw whilst holding the window with one hand. For your first I advise not being alone and make sure nothing or nobody is beneath the window you're working on 👍

[@FixitwithFowler]

I did say on the video that ou don,t need to remove the window but i have just to make this video clearer. You are right they can be heavy and it is definetly easier with 2 people!

[@berthenge]

Great video. Very clear and helpful. No jargon / "creator" nonsense. Cheers.

[@FixitwithFowler]

Thanks for your great comment, I'm glad you liked the video

[@booshallmighty]

I bought this and after 20 minutes I got about 4" done with help of a screwdriver. Then I gave up. Luckily the old seal wasn't that bad after I cleaned it with fairy liquid. Looking at the old seal, it is thinner, I'd say 3mm. The old seal went on easy like yours did. Storm seals reckons they fit almost all windows. I didn't think I had any special windows, they're very average upvc windows. Great video though.

[@FixitwithFowler]

Oh, that's a shame it didn't fit. Im glad you liked the video, though. Have you tried looking for a swal the same size and profile?

[@stefanr.3495]

Best to order a sample pack first, see what fits!

[@colincrooky]

I wouldn’t use fairy liquid as it may damage the seal. Use Silicone grease or spray, this will rejuvenate the rubber. Mr.Fowler may confirm this as I may be wrong.

[@FixitwithFowler]

@colincrooky washing up liquid is safe on rubber and would do the same job as silicone grease. Thanks for your comment!

Fantastic video. Moved into a new place last year, on the back door more so the rubber is literally brittle strands both in the door and on the frame, looks like black spaghetti 😂. It survived last winter, but I think I’m going to have to buy several to test sizes as I have nothing to base it on.

[@spawnofnamaah]

what is worth a mention is that when in doubt of excluder type, online stores like gbdiystore do offer sending a sample package with different profiles as well as help ID based on pictures. Also with the new seals in place, it might be a consideration to relax the 'winter' setting of the adjustment to either 'neutral' or 'summer'?

Yes, good shout. However, these windows don't have such an adjustment

[@FixitwithFowler]

Yeah, it is really easy and makes a massive difference!

[@lu34lyf]

removing the glass and refitting the unit after is not something you would be able to do without correct tools.

[@neilhurley3995]

Hi John, I think Steve got the wrong end of the stick about your query. Here's a couple of pointers: If your windows are internally glazed (glazing/bead removed inside) then there's not much you can do about changin seal that meets the glazing as they're usually integral. If your windows are older and externally glazed the internal seal touching the glass is known as a wedge gasket. These are easily replaceable and can be pryed out gently with a stiff scraper. Once removed you need to measure the resultant gap (mm) and search online for wedge gaskets. Loads of companies supply so just give them your measurement. If you're not confident in measuring you can send them a small cutting off the end of your gasket so they can match the profile. I hope this helps.

[@lu34lyf]

[@FixitwithFowler]

You can take the window out if you're careful and get someone to hold the window for you.

[@neilhurley3995]

You don't need to access the outside as the opener seal faces the house and the frame seal is easily accessible. Standing on a 2 step/hop up inside helps with reach to get to the top of the opener but steady! No falling out of the bloody window!!

Does it matter which way round the seal goes ? As the storm guard has one side that is deeper than the others. Great clear video by the way, really helpful 👍

I would avoid stretching it and putting it under tension. They are slightly tight to fit but once in they will stay in.

@ Thank you.

No problem, im glad the video has helped you with your window seal

Is it a similar process if you need to replace the rubber at the edge of the glass?

No, unfortunately not. You need to remove the beading, but I'm unsure if you can replace the rubber next to the glass
