Replace worn weatherstripping and failed seals so sashes close tight and drafts, noise and dust stay out.
Weatherstripping is the soft strip, brush or bulb that seals the gap between the sash and the frame. Over time it flattens, cracks, falls out or hardens, and a window that once closed quietly starts to whistle and let in dust. Replacing weatherstripping is one of the easiest ways to make an old window more comfortable. Homeowners in Nashville ask for it when they notice drafts around otherwise sound windows.
We inspect the windows and identify the type of weatherstripping each one uses: bulb, fin, pile, kerf-in or adhesive. We remove the old material, clean the channels and install new weatherstripping that fits. For windows with a worn sash seal or a sagging sash, we adjust or repair as needed. After the repair we test each window for a tight, easy close. If a window is too far gone to seal well, we say so. Many owners are surprised how much quieter a room becomes after this simple repair. If you want to be sure, tell us which windows bother you most and we will start there, then check the rest of the house at the same visit.
Bulb, fin, pile and adhesive strips each fit certain windows, and the wrong one will not seal or will make the window hard to close.
New weatherstripping needs a clean channel, so we remove old material and dirt before installing.
A good seal makes the window snug without being hard to close, and we test each one.
A warped sash, failed glass seal or rotted frame cannot be fixed with weatherstripping, and we tell you honestly.
