EVS Draught stop with a timber finish works very well with clear finished timber windows. The profile can be used without any further painting but can also be painted with a suitable paint finish.
The Timber finish is not a surface veneer like other products, so it can be sanded and shaped like timber with the colour elements flowing through the whole profile.
Fitting existing hardware requires careful repositioning to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. It is recommended that you use a drill to pre-bore the screw holes to avoid cracking the Draught Stop profile.
Draught stop can be fitted to all the inside faces of the window frame, but be aware that the bottom rail will have the lip of the profile (3)
across the bottom opening window sil.
The DIY Draught Stop packs (Do-It-Yourself ) make it quick and easy for home owners to install the best draught stop solutions for different window types.

Double Hung windows are designed to slide up and down and require a gap on each side for the sash to move freely. The EVS V-Brush works ideally to allow for sling movement while blocking the gaps from draughts.
The Draught Stop profiles are narrow and can fit on most standard double hung staff beads (inside facing trim beads). They can be taken the full way up each side for aesthetic reasons
of trimmed to the height o f the bottom panel.
The EVS Draught Stops have a low visual impact and can be colour matched to the existing colour for best results
The sides and bottom (3),(4),(5) draught stop can be simply fitted along each facing bead, whereas the top Draught Stop can be fitted in a couple of different configurations (1), (2)depending on where the cross bar sits

The white finish is a very common finish for a lot of homes but this can be painted over to match existing paint colour schemes. It is recommend that you use a low sheen water based enamel paint. You can use standard fillers to fill the pin holes and corners.
The white finish is not a surface veneer like other products, so it can be sanded and shaped like timber with the colour elements flowing through the whole profile.
Fitting existing hardware requires careful repositioning to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. It is recommended that you use a drill to pre-bore the screw holes to avoid cracking the Draught Stop profile.

Healthy Homes Draught Stopping Standard
Landlords must block any unreasonable gaps and holes in walls, ceilings, windows, floors and doors that cause noticeable draughts.
As a rule of thumb, gaps or holes with a width greater than 3mm in or around the walls, ceilings, windows, doors and floors that let air into or out of the home will usually require blocking to prevent unreasonable draughts.
This means that if the edge of a New Zealand $2 dollar coin can fit in the gap, then the gap needs to be sealed.
