Note which rooms feel draughty, how old the windows and doors are and whether you feel cold air,
see light or hear noise through gaps. Photos of typical doors and windows, including close ups of
frames and thresholds, help tradies plan suitable sealing options.

Window and Door Draught Proofing FAQs
Will sealing windows and doors make my home too airtight?
Most existing homes are naturally leaky in many areas, so sealing obvious gaps around windows and
doors usually improves comfort without removing all fresh air. In very airtight homes, ventilation
needs more planning. Your tradie can target the worst draught points and talk about how this fits
with your heating and cooling system.
Can older timber windows still be sealed effectively?
Often yes, with the right products and preparation, although warped or badly damaged frames may
limit how much improvement is possible. A tradie can examine typical windows and advise whether
sealing, repairs or replacement is the better longer term option.
Does draught proofing help with noise as well?
Sealing obvious gaps can reduce some outside noise, especially whistling through cracks, but it is
not the same as full acoustic glazing. It is usually one of several steps, along with heavier
curtains and better glass, to improve noise performance in busy locations.
Will I need to repaint after seals are installed?
Many seals can be fitted with minimal impact on existing paintwork, but some repairs, planing or
trim changes can expose raw timber or older paint edges. Your tradie can let you know if any
touch ups are likely and whether painting is included or best handled separately.
