Changing the seal in a Crittall window is relatively straightforward.
Remove the Old Seal: Carefully remove the old seal from the window frame. Depending on how it is fixed, this may require gently prying it off with a suitable tool.
Clean the Area: Once the old seal is removed, clean the groove or area where the seal was situated. Remove any debris, dust or remnants of the old seal to ensure a smooth surface for the new seal.
Measure and Cut the New Seal: Measure the length of the area where the seal will be placed. Cut your new seal to this length, ensuring a precise fit. It is better to cut it slightly longer as any excess can be trimmed once the seal has been fitted.
Fit the New Seal: Carefully fit the new seal into the groove or frame where the old one was. This will involve gently pressing it into place.
Test the Window: Once the new seal has been fitted, close and open the window a few times to ensure the seal is functioning correctly.
