I was thinking of the old fashioned draft-snake/sausage thingies might do the trick, but probably the same as a rolled up towel... bonus to the snake that I found, can put them around lower edges of TV cabinets, bookshelves etc as 'bumpers' for rolling/crawling kidlets too ]]> Sat, 10 Sep 2011 20:07:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40446&PID=1386161&title=drafty-windows#1386161 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40446&PID=1385986&title=drafty-windows#1385986 Author: sarahm

We got much bigger curtains that completely cover the whole window area- right down past the seat and its definatly helped with the draft- we got them 50% off at Warehouse.]]> Fri, 09 Sep 2011 20:58:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40446&PID=1385971&title=drafty-windows#1385971 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40446&PID=1385969&title=drafty-windows#1385969 Author: Jaune

Have just been thinking - you could also stuff old stockings with foam and lay them along the top of the sash window if the air is coming through there?
Maybe?? ]]> Fri, 09 Sep 2011 20:40:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40446&PID=1385969&title=drafty-windows#1385969 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40446&PID=1385967&title=drafty-windows#1385967 Author: Nothing

Cardboard or polystyrine that you can put up at night time. Are they the ones that go up and down? If so see if the air is coming through the top and if so then get them jacked up properly. ]]> Fri, 09 Sep 2011 20:38:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40446&PID=1385967&title=drafty-windows#1385967 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40446&PID=1385966&title=drafty-windows#1385966 Author: Jaune

You can get little foam stick on seal things that you can put inside the window frame...from Bunnings/Mitre10 type places. I'm not explaining it very well...will try and find a link. Not sure if it would work in a sash window though...perhaps along the bottom?

My lounge has bay windows, the old fashioned sash type. And they are drafty AS! Not enough that the curtains are billowing but bloody close. Any idea how to keep draft out? I rent so i cant do anything extreme.
TIA!]]> Fri, 09 Sep 2011 20:10:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40446&PID=1385961&title=drafty-windows#1385961
