Now that I am working in the 'back bedroom' I am becoming more keenly awar of the draughts in there...
There seem to be two main causes. One is a gap between the opening window and the frame (it's not 'pulling to' fully). That I will take a look at shortly. But the one I want to ask about is a gap between the uPVC frame and the window cill.
This gap is pretty narrow but I think is where the cold air is coming in (from the cavity?). The inside of the frame has a hollow 'lip', about 2" wide by 1/2" deep, the lipped edge of which is supposed to be in contact with the top of the cill; but it is a few mm clear.
I can apply some sealant but because it is basically a crack, with nothing behind, I am dubious that this will be a reliable seal. The nuclear option is trying to squirt some expanding foam into volume behind the lip, but I really don't want to try that. Is there anything else I can do to improve my chances of sealing this gap?
Thanks, J^n
