How long before windows need replacing ??

Just wondering whats the life-expectancy of double glazed windows - generally - I know this is not an exact science but ours are 18 (ish) years old now and we are starting to feel draughts.

Nothing too major but in these days of energy saving !!!

If the windows are in good condition replacing the rubber seals on the windows would prevent the draughts.

the seals on some of my windows are very poor where would you get the replacement seals?

What part of the country are you in? Should be a local window manufacturer that could sort you out.

dromina county cork as far as i knw munster joinery installed the windows but when close you can really feel a draft when u feel around certain parts of the window,maybe i should give them a call any idea how much it costs to replace the seal?

Munster are more into new/builds fittings, they are not into repairs as such. I could be wrong though seeing as your fairly near them. But i'd guess you'll probably have to find someone else.
