For a start if your windows are letting a draft through then they have most certainly not been fitted in the correct manner. A qualified and professional window fitter would have taken the necessary precautions to ensure that your windows are sealed CORRECTLY, and that there are NO GAPS, especially near the window frame. The part where the window frame is placed is the area that the majority of draught comes through. Let’s not forget to mention the security issues that can occur with the improper craftsmanship of incorrectly placed windows. If the seal around the windows is not secure and fixed properly then your windows are easy to be forced out.
