What is a Window Gasket

Advantages of a window gasket
A window gasket has a couple of advantages the first one being to prevent noise from coming in to your home so this is a great feature if you live in a busy area. A window gasket will also prevent noise from high winds entering through any gaps. The window gasket should be air tight.
Another advantage of having a window gasket is that it will prevent leaks and drafts penetrating your home which can damage surfaces, and furniture. A window gasket provides a barrier between the natural elements and your home. Protecting your home from heavy wind and rain. Also a window gasket that is well maintained can help you to save money on your energy bills because a well-installed window seal will prevent any heat escaping and draughts from entering your home .

Customer Review
Thank you so much for the Euro Seal - it is perfect and already installed! I suspect that when Hubby comes home I will have to order another length (approx. 4m) to replace the seal on our 2 sets of French Doors too! Many thanks for all your help :-)
