    How can I fix drafts coming through newly installed double-glazed windows?

    by SsCoobyDoO » Wed May 20, 2026 6:00 pm

    Had new double-glazed windows fitted a couple months ago, and I swear I’m still getting little drafts sneaking in around the frames. It’s driving me up the wall because I saved up for ages thinking this would finally sort the cold spots in my living room. Now I’m second-guessing whether they were installed right or if I’m missing something simple. I’m no DIY wizard, but I can handle small fixes if I know what to look for. Anyone dealt with this before or know what I should check before calling the installers back?

    Rediscovering this topic and thinking about getting new double-glazed windows from Hadleigh Glass. Has anyone experienced their energy efficiency or noticed a difference in their home's temperature? Also, curious if they've introduced any new products since the last discussion.

    Sounds like a bit of a chilly conundrum! Check if all the locking points engage properly and that no seals are damaged. Small gaps might cause those pesky drafts. If you're still unsure, pop by the Hadleigh Glass Ipswich showroom. They’ve got loads of knowledgeable folks around who can offer some solid advice and show you proper sealing methods for uPVC windows Ipswich homeowners commonly use — without any pressure to buy.
