Stop Heat Loss, Reduce Energy Bills & Make Your Home More Comfortable

f your home feels cold even when the heating is on, draughts are often the hidden problem. G1 Sealant provides professional draught proofing services across Glasgow, helping homeowners reduce heat loss, improve comfort and lower energy bills. Draughts commonly enter through gaps around windows and doors, skirting boards, floorboards, loft hatches and service entry points. Over time, these small gaps add up to major heat loss, making your boiler work harder and pushing up your energy costs.

Our team specialises in sealing these problem areas properly using professional-grade sealants and draught proofing materials designed to last. Whether you live in a modern flat or a traditional Glasgow tenement, we assess where warm air is escaping and cold air is entering, then apply the right solution for your property type. The result is a warmer, more energy-efficient home without the need for major renovation work.

What Is Draught Proofing & Why It Matters

Draught proofing is the process of sealing unwanted gaps in your property that allow cold air in and warm air out. Even small, hard-to-see gaps around windows, doors, floorboards and pipe entry points can create noticeable cold spots and discomfort. Over time, these draughts can significantly increase your heating bills, as your heating system has to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature.

In many Glasgow homes, especially older properties and traditional sandstone buildings, draughts are a common issue. Timber frames shrink over time, seals degrade, and small cracks appear as buildings naturally move. Professional draught proofing addresses these issues at the source. Instead of relying on temporary DIY fixes that often fail, G1 Sealant uses durable, weather-resistant materials that provide long-term protection.

Effective draught proofing can also help reduce condensation and moisture problems by improving airflow control throughout your home. When warm air escapes and cold air enters, condensation can form around windows and frames, leading to damp patches and mould growth. By sealing gaps correctly, you create a more stable indoor environment that’s easier to heat and maintain.

Common Draught Problems in Glasgow Homes

Homes across Glasgow experience draught issues for a variety of reasons, including building age, construction type and exposure to weather. Some of the most common draught entry points we see include gaps around window frames, poorly sealed doors, letterboxes, loft hatches, floorboard gaps and service entry points for pipes and cables. Even small cracks in external walls can contribute to noticeable heat loss during colder months.

Traditional tenement flats are particularly prone to draughts due to older window frames and natural movement in the building structure over time. Newer homes can also suffer from draughts if seals have deteriorated or if installation work hasn’t been completed to a high standard. In many cases, homeowners notice cold spots near windows or doors, or feel a constant chill even when the heating is turned up.

Our draught proofing service in Glasgow starts with identifying exactly where the problem areas are. We assess your property layout, construction type and existing seals to pinpoint where heat is escaping. From there, we apply targeted draught proofing solutions to eliminate cold air entry while maintaining proper ventilation where needed.

Our Professional Draught Proofing Process

Detailed Property Inspection

At G1 Sealant, every draught proofing job in Glasgow starts with a detailed inspection of your property. We identify common draught entry points such as gaps around windows and doors, skirting boards, floorboards, loft hatches and service entry points.

This step allows us to locate exactly where cold air is entering and warm air is escaping, ensuring no problem areas are missed.

Professional Sealing Solutions

Once draught points are identified, we recommend the most effective draught proofing solutions for each area. We use high-quality, flexible sealants and professional-grade draught proofing materials designed to perform in Scottish weather conditions.

Each surface and location is treated with the correct method to ensure long-lasting results rather than short-term fixes that quickly fail.

Immediate Comfort & Energy Savings

After your draught proofing service is completed, most homeowners notice an immediate improvement in comfort. Rooms retain heat more effectively, cold spots are reduced, and your heating system doesn’t need to work as hard to maintain temperature.

Many customers across Glasgow also experience reduced outside noise and improved overall comfort throughout their home.

Benefits of Draught Proofing Your Home


  • Professional draught proofing helps eliminate cold air entering your property, allowing rooms to retain heat for longer. By sealing gaps around windows, doors and floors, your home feels warmer and more comfortable throughout the year. This is especially noticeable during colder months in Glasgow when draughts can make even well-heated rooms feel uncomfortable.

  • When heat escapes through draughts, your boiler and heating system have to work harder to maintain temperature. Draught proofing reduces heat loss by sealing these gaps, helping your home stay warmer with less energy. This leads to lower monthly heating bills and improved energy efficiency, particularly in larger properties or homes with multiple draught points.


  • Unsealled gaps allow cold air to meet warm indoor air, which increases condensation around windows and frames. Draught proofing helps control airflow, reducing moisture build-up and lowering the risk of damp patches and mould growth. This protects your walls, window frames and internal finishes while improving indoor air quality.


  • By reducing moisture and temperature fluctuations, draught proofing helps preserve the condition of your home over time. Sealed gaps prevent ongoing damage to timber frames, internal finishes and surrounding surfaces, helping to maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your property.
