No explanation ref changing hinge fixes draft! Do the hinges wear so much, or do screws move to give too much leeway

I'm just a bit worried that if I take my window out to order new hinges, it's going to be even more draughty whilst I'm waiting for them to arrive, lol. Thank you for the video, I'm off to check my gasket (hoping it's that).

What was wrong with the hinge that caused the gap in corner?

Most the times your draft can be fixed with wd40 silicone. Sometimes I agree the wear to the hinges is that bad it only fixes it partially and you still don’t get a solid seal.

Hey, how would you fix the same type of window if when opened, the top half tilts out more and one of the hinges on the top is a bit loose? Which leaves a gap on the top corner even when the window is closed, thank you

first part of the video was very helpful, identified where the offending draft is coming in from...and temporarily fixed with loo roll lol, will get someone out to fix it as changing hinges etc is beyond my capabilities.

Thanks, this was very useful, I replaced the hinges on my drafty upvc and it stopped the drafts

you explain that if there is a gap in the corners opposite the handle then the problem is with the hinges. However, what if the gap/draught is coming from the corners on the SAME side as the handle? I have adjusted the cams and 1 corner is now tight but the other corner is still a bit loose. Would you say it's the rubber or a new cam lock needed ?

Thank you. On a side note, please don’t do that test where you drop a feather to prove there is no draft. Apparently, this can cause you to top yourself. Yep, I’m going to hell. 😂

My problem is that the fixed window in one of my bedroom double glazed units has a gap pretty much all the way round. Not the glass itself but but where the glass enclosure unit fits into the window frame. The seal does not even touch The house is a new build but is out of its 2 year warranty and the only reason we noticed it was because my wife was complaining that the room always seems colder than the rest of the house. Any advice would be gratefully received😊

So it's fine to replace the standard flapper gaskets with bubble gaskets? Bubble gaskets seem much better than the flapper ones that came with the windows 👍🏼

I've got about 2mm gap between the gasket and the corner of the window under the handle. The windows are brand new. What should be done about this? Also we have a vertical smear on the window that is visible in certain lights should this be sorted out by the company?

Hi, how do you fix a loose top window without having to buy anything extra? E.g. you want to open the top window a little bit but it automatically opens fully. Thanks

You need to replace the hinges. Best getting a window fitter in it's a small job for them
