I'm contemplating using Mighton plastic parting bead to partially draughtproof some sash windows, and stop them rattling. Has anyone used this? The problem I have is that the bead is supplied in lengths of 2.4m and 3m, neither of which work well with these windows - there will be maybe 40% wastage, unless I can join lengths. So: can lengths be joined, and how? Any other helpful information will be very welcome.

Can't really see the benefit of plastic, and the sashes will "catch" on a joint I would think. IIRC nobody does a springy plastic bead that would take up the slack. The staff bead stops the inner sash moving but it's difficult to tighten up the outer one without either making the sash itself, or the protruding part of the parting bead, thicker. Or fixing a strip of something to the outer edge of the box. You could try angling the bead slightly. A right fiddle however you tackle it.
