Sealasash recently completed a draught sealing project on a character weatherboard home in Pascoe Vale, Victoria. The original windows were upgraded with Low E EnergyTech Glass and finished with our core service of draught sealing, delivering a home that is now warmer, quieter, and far more energy efficient.
Why Draught Sealing Matters in Pascoe Vale Homes
Many older homes in Pascoe Vale still have original timber windows that look beautiful but leak air through gaps, rattles, and have no seals. This leads to cold draughts in winter, hot air intrusion in summer, and energy bills that climb higher each year. Independent studies, including Historic England’s report on draught proofing, show that draught sealing is one of the most effective ways to cut heat loss, reduce energy costs, and improve day-to-day comfort.
Combining Draught Sealing with Modern Glass
For this weatherboard project, Sealasash didn’t just stop at sealing gaps. We also retrofitted the existing sash windows with Low E EnergyTech Glass, a modern glass option that reflects heat while letting in natural light. By combining new glass with complete draught sealing, the home achieved an immediate performance boost, retaining warmth in winter, staying cooler in summer, and providing better acoustic insulation against street noise.
The Outcome – Comfort Without Compromise
The homeowners now enjoy a house that feels insulated and protected without losing the charm of their original windows. The draught sealing Pascoe Vale upgrade has ensured smooth-operating sash windows, less noise, and lower running costs for heating and cooling.
Sealasash specialise in helping families across Melbourne achieve sustainable comfort through draught sealing and glass retrofits, making homes like this weatherboard in Pascoe Vale more efficient while retaining their unique character.
