Draughtproofing UPVC Windows

PeterinScotland

Anyone know any good-looking and inexpensive ways of draughtproofing UPVC windows that are not perfectly draught-free? We are 200 ft above sea level in the north of Scotland. In our previous house we got C R Smith to fit windows - we're missing them here. The firm that made/fitted the ones in our current house have gone out of business.

Today it's blowing a gale and snowing.

Our electricity bill for the winter quarter in our 4 bed end of terrace 1970s house was nearly £750 and most of that was on half-price tariff (Total Heating with Total Control). There's no gas here and the open fireplace is in an inconvenient location in the house.

Kind regards

Re-sealing double glazed windows cost me £70. This was last year and 7 windows.

depends where the wind is actually blowing in?
silicone sealer is cheap. try the pound shop.
or draught excluder strip on a roll from wickes etc... various types, 4 to 7 quid a roll.
