Hello board!
I am doing some DIY maintenance to my wooden double glazed windows.
A lot of them need the rubber sealing replacing as it is going all nasty, black and cracking.
I am trying to source some - i'm going to need about 30m to do all my windows.
It's proving really difficult. The one place i have found that sell anything near what i need is someone called Schlegel and their Aquamac Sealant. however, their profile is not the exact same as the one i need to replace. Their minimum order is in the 100's if meters and £400+.....
There is a rebate in the window frame for part of the sealing strip to fit into.
I've called all my local glaziers who either A) Tried to flog me some uPVC windows or B) Tried to flog me some wooden windows or C) Told me that what i wanted was the brush type stick on stuff and that i should go to B&Q.
It is worrying when i explain that that is not what i need and then they don't understand the word 'rebate'. I am not a big wood person but still....
Does anyone have brand name or know of a good way to track down what i need? Is there a trade name for this stuff, other than 'Weathershield'.
Many thanks for your help. I have all the other tools and equipment so now all i need is the weather strip stuff.
Cheers!
