Yes to a certain degree as the hinges compress the brush pile try putting a bit of foam temporarily inside at the bottom when its windy to test my theory

I've had this before the draft is probably coming up through the drainage slots and behind the front seal the only place it can exit is the latch plate area I've solved it by gluing a piece of brush seal horizontally near the bottom of the frame to stop the draught rising on both sides hope this...

The building regs become an issue due to the roof material, in order for it to be considered as a conservatory the roof must be 70% translucent material (polycarbonate or glass) when you put on a solid roof on this is no longer the case, most kit form roofs from eurocell supalite etc are all...

I would always use fixings if you've ever tried replacing windows that are on cleats then you'll appreciate why, personal choice really I cant stand cleats

always do fascias and soffits first if anything drops from above it wont damage new windows

just sit cill on 95mm pvc architrave 1 or 2 pieces as required

give Wilkins roofing a call best flat roofer based in grimsby
