Are there any draught excluders specifically for uPVC windows? There's a huge draught coming from the hinged edge of the openers on our windows.

The uPVC windows must be at least 15 yrs old and I've no idea who installed them.
B & Q have some draught excluders with brush edges, but they seem to be for the bottom of doors or letter boxes.
Ideas please?0 -

They need adjusting, or the seals replacing. You can get adhesive draughtproofing for wooden doors / windows - but you shouldn't be using it on UPVC frames.
This sort of stuff :-

Thanks for that link - I'll investigate a bit further.
The seals and windows are fine - it's just the frame. I wonder if there are any ways of adjusting it?0
