How the seal works

Brush and fin, already fitted in the timber

Kerf-fit brush

The brush sits in a slot cut into the bead, not stuck on the surface, so it stays put and looks neat.

The fin does the sealing

A plastic fin runs through the middle of the brush. Fit the bead so the fin touches the sash and it forms the weather seal.

Made for sliding sashes

Brush seals let the sashes slide up and down. Compression seals aren't suited to sliding windows.

No assembly needed

Just measure, cut to length and nail in. You don't need to fit carriers or brush yourself.

Which kit do I need?

Choose by the width of your stop bead

Both kits include the same parting beads, meeting rail draught stopper and sash cord. Only the staff beads differ.

Installation

Fit it yourself, step by step

Step-by-step instructions are included, and we're a phone call away if you get stuck.

Remove the old beads

Cut through the paint, lever off the staff beads, lift out the bottom sash and remove the parting beads.

Fit the parting beads

Measure, cut and nail in. Brush faces in on the bottom half and out on the top half.

Refit the bottom sash

Once the parting beads are in, put the bottom sash back in place.

Fit the staff beads

Push them up to the sash so the gap closes but the window still slides, then nail in.

Full step-by-step instructions

Tip: have everything on site before you start. Courier delays do happen and are outside our control.

Step by Step Instructions:

1. Remove the existing staff or stop beads. Start by running a knife around the edge of the beading to cut through the paint. Then use a flat pry bar or chisel to lever the stop bead off the frame. Top tip! Start in the middle and then work out towards the ends, the bead is more flexible in the middle.

2. Once the Stop Beads have been removed you can then start to remove the bottom sash.

3. Remove the existing parting beads. Use your knife around as much as the parting bead as possible to loosen any paint, then use the chisel or flat pry bar to lever the bead out of groove of the frame. Do this all the way around the frame making sure you remove the parting bead at the top of the sash also.

4. Now it’s time to measure up. TOP TIP! Measure twice, cut once.Start with the top parting bead. Measure horizontally between the frame and add a few mm to this as you want the bead to go all the way across the head of the window.It is recommended to pre-drill your holes in the beads before nailing. Then fix the parting bead in position and nail in (40mm nails recommended).

5. Next, measure up for the side parting beads. Measure from the sill up to the parting bead you have just installed in step 4 above.

6. Cut your pieces for the left and right side then cut each in half at the halfway point. Make a pencil mark at the halfway point and cut. Top tip! Apply a small amount of superglue to the top and the bottom between the plastic and the brush of each parting bead to stop the pile moving.

7. Pre dill holes in the parting bead and nail into place.

8. On the bottom half of the window install the parting bead so that the pile faces inwards. On the top half of the window switch the bead over so that the pile faces outwards. This will cushion the sashes and eliminate the gaps.

9. Reinstall the bottom sash.

10. Now measure up for your stop / staff beads. Install the beads. Push them to the bottom sash so that they close the gap but are not too tight, You want the gap filled but still be able to move the window up and down. As previously done with your parting beads, pre-drill your holes and nail into place.

Tools you'll need

A sharp utility knife, a flat pry bar or chisel, a tape measure and pencil, a saw for cutting the beads, a drill for pre-drilling, a hammer and 40mm nails.

Optional hardware kit

Finish the window with matching hardware

Add two sash lifts and a fitch fastener to your kit. Choose a finish under "Style" at the top of the page.

Had eight sash windows in an old federation era home that needed an overhaul (all hardware replaced, rebalancing, draught sealing). We couldn't have been any happier than our choice to go with Lock and Latch. The quality of the products is great, and the pricing is very competitive (especially the draught seal kits).

I initially purchased the Ecobead mouldings for a single double hung sash window I was restoring, and the result was excellent. The beading comes primed, and it is uncomplicated in terms of trimming up and modifying to suit. The draught proofing has been a success, and no more rattling either.

This product is fantastic! Ive used it many times now and it saves me so much time and hassle of splicing. Now I can do many repairs onsite instead of having to take windows back to the workshop to fabricate parts. Once dry, its more solid that the timber!
