UPVC Rubbers
I wonder if anyone can advise me.
I have UPVC Double Glazing windows and some of the rubbers are worn and need replacing its not the rubber around the actual glass its the sealing rubber around the frame.
I looked on ebay and cant find any trace of it proberbly cos i dont know what im looking for lol and is it all same fitting?

Re: UPVC Rubbers
When ours started to fail, the search for replacements took ages as the original fitter had gone bust, so had the supplier AND the manufacturer. So many profiles available that it meant sending samples to various companies... many of whom didn't even both replying.
In the end, a whole reel of it was found on the back of a council van!

Re: UPVC Rubbers
Silicone gel can be used to get it to slip into grooves, etc with no problem, and helps form a good watertight seal. Wickes sell it.
