Insulating around windows

    Hello,
    My windows went in a few weeks ago.
    I wanted to use hilti air sealer to fill around the windows before plastering.

    Would anyone be able to suggest an alternative to this as it is very expensive?

    Thanks!

    I used the Hilti also, but I don't know of any alternative that is flexible and airtight!
    You also have to use the Hilti gun, which is expensive also.
    It may seem expensive for 'expanding foam' but as a percentage of the overall window cost it ends up being negligible.
    Four or Five cans should do the average 4 bed house.

    It's also a good idea to Siga tape the windows also!

    Will stick to the hilti products.
