Hi, My 15 year old upvc conservatory is leaking a bit and has some drafts. It appears the black rubber seals around the glass have shrunk leaving 15-20mm gaps in the corners. Can anyone suggest a supplier? Also, any tips or things to watch out for when replacing them.
TIA, Andy.
When you come to fit the new seals, cut them 2 or 3 inches too long, and start in the corners and work toward the centre of the pane. You'll find a loop forms as you go along, but it's amazing how much can be forced in.HTH.
I asked a similar question a couple of years ago IIRC, and although I didn't try very hard, I never did spot a supplier for it !
I didnt think seals needed double glazing, are they a major energy use contributor? Does it not cause them problems in the water? What would the animal rights people say about it?

Well now that seals are living inland: (see ) the next thing we can expect is that they'll start grazing in fields like cows and damaging the ozone layer through all the extra methane produced: so I think it would be an excellent idea if new regs were passed ASAP to ensure that all seals are double-glazed as a matter of urgency.

So as seagulls get called landgulls will sea ls be getting called land ls ??
