About this window & upvc seals
XFasten 27m Clear Window Weather Sealing Tape
Single-glazed sashes, old casements and draughty frames in rented homes often cannot be fitted with permanent seals. A clear tape is the seasonal answer: you stick it over the gaps in autumn and peel it off in spring, leaving the original window untouched.
This XFasten roll is 50.8mm wide, which is wide enough to bridge the gaps around a sash edge or cover a crack between the frame and the wall, and it is 27.43m long. That is a lot of tape for the price, and it comes in a clear finish that is nearly invisible against glass and timber.
The manufacturer describes it as wood-safe and residue-free, with a pressure-sensitive adhesive that is airtight and watertight. As always with tape, test a small hidden area first on a delicate or freshly painted surface, and remove it slowly at a low angle when the weather warms up.
