A Durable Alternative to Linseed Oil Putty

Window care dry seal - an elastic glazing sealant

Linseed oil putty is widely used for glazing windows and doors. The putty is inherently brittle and generally shrinks away from the glass. The breakdown of putty causes early breakdown of paints and is mainly responsible for open joints and in-situ wood decay due to moisture ingress. The Window Care Dry Seal is an elastic glazing sealant which can be used for puttied windows and for perimeter sealing.

The Dry Seal is printable with opaque and translucent wood finishes and is extremely effective against moisture ingress. In the event of the breakage of glass, Dry Seal is easier to renew compared to the removal/renewal of hardened linseed oil putty.

The use of Dry Seal instead of linseed oil putty can help to achieve longer paint durability and can contribute toward the prevention of in-situ wood decay. Dry Seal is a product of Window Care Systems Ltd - A Huntingdon based company.

Draught-Proofing

TRC Contract Services offers a complete service of draught-proofing existing timber windows and particularly specialise in the draught proofing of traditional sash windows.

Draught-proofing windows and doors can make the building more comfortable. It reduces the heatloss, stops windows rattling, lessens the chance of wood decay by excluding wind and rain, reduces dust, noise abd even makes it easier to open and shut windows.

TRC Contract Services will also undertake work involving the replacement of pulleys, weights, cords and general window hardware.
