Is this the sort of thing you're after? White Brushpile Weatherstrip - Mighton Products

Got a sample very tiny but thank you.

When you say the sample is very tiny, do you mean they've only given you a very short length of the weatherstrip? This should still be enough to tell if it will work for you, right? Or do you mean it's smaller in cross section than the stuff you're after? I see Mighton do several sizes of brushpile weatherstrip. Did you get samples of them all?

If you want more help, it would be useful to see pics of the strips Ventrolla left for you, and/or dimensions (base width/pile height).

Instructions covering most of the info needed to remove and replace brushpile from Ventrolla-refurbed windows are helpfully provided here: Maintenance Instructions.

Taken a picture of the existing weatherfin & the sample I got from mighton. Thanks for refitting instructions.

Thanks, potentially useful for me. I got Ventrolla to leave a fair bit of different size strips, for future maintenance, when they did our windows. Have not needed it yet, but interesting to find where to get more if/when needed.

You couldn’t post a picture could you of what they left?

Sorry, missed this as currently travelling in USA.

Got my handy man to have a look he has tried number of building merchants locally nobody has anything that fits. I will ask the shop where I got the sample. Pic of said weatherfin
