Weather stripping double hung windows

10 years ago

My house feels cold and I found out using a thermal leak detector that my doors and windows are to blame. Want to weatherstrip them , but confused on what kind of product to choose for the below areas


1. which product to use for the Top of the meeting rail (esp on the corners and around the handle at the middle) ? . Note that my upper sash is fixed - cant be moved. Also cant use V seal on the channels as the gap is tight there and might not operate.


2. which product to use for For Bottom of the lower sash ? I should be able to use a EPDM rubber right ? ( like this : http://www.homedepot.com/p/Frost-King-E-O-9-16-in-x-5-16-in-x-10-ft-White-EPDM-Cellular-Rubber-Weather-Strip-Tape-Cushioned-Ribbed-V27WA/100166568 )


3. For Sliding windows, I need to weather strip the gap between the meeting stile and fixed sash behind it esp around the locks ) . Also here i should be able to choose the above EPDM rubber strip for the gap between operating sash and stile ?

Appreciate any help
