uPVC window draughts

sparkman · 2017-03-03 10:57:36

Hello - A few years ago someone fitted small plastic brackets to my window frames which force the window to close more tightly. Does anyone know where I can buy these? I don't even know what they're called so having no luck Googling them....photo attached...thanks....

Window wedges.

Check you don't need hinges instead though.

Check for play in the hinges though. That's the main cause for draughts in windows.
