That's exactly what this seal is built for. Our Compression Weatherseal uses a resilient polyurethane foam core to fill the closing gap on \u003cstrong\u003ecasement windows and doors\u003c\/strong\u003e, cutting draughts to a minimum while maintaining a smooth, easy close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e this seal is designed specifically for surfaces that close and compress, not surfaces that slide. If you're draught-proofing a \u003cstrong\u003edouble hung sash window\u003c\/strong\u003e, a compression seal is the wrong tool for the job: sliding sashes wear compression seals down quickly and the seal never gets to do what it's designed for.
