Insulating Cold / Draft from window frame

Alex elephant · 19 Nov 2019

I recently had laminate floor replaced throughout my flat, and had skirting boards removed for this, and some floor level window sil / shelving from the floor to ceiling windows.

I have noticed cold wind coming from the window frame that is exposed, it looks like some kind of spray foam has been used before - any idea what sort so I can redo it please?

Any tips or advice welcome

thanks

Use Soudal Flexi or similar to fill the gap then use caulk to finish and paint.

Did you hire someone to do the laminate flooring and they removed something by the door? Did they tell you they would and leave it in this state? It looks unfinished, let alone you noticing drafts. Filling the gap might stop the draft, but you will still see the packers and fixings!

I uncovered them and agreed to fix them myself

thanks both for your help
