With some of the harsh winter when it is windy, my windows do let a cold draft come through as they do not close hermetically.
I am looking to get potentially someone to replace these as I think this might be too much of a job for me.
As per picture, there are only one handle per windows instead of the 2.
I will replace both handle, which I am hoping which help to close the windows more hermetically. And avoid any draft of cold air when very windy outside.
Do you think that will sort it out?
Do I need to add something else between the windows and the frames of the windows so when the windows close, it helps to keep it more hermetic? What do you think and how easy to get it done? And what would I need?
Done something similar for the front door, but the storm guard product will be too thick I think, unless, I only put one layer.
Couple of practical question about windows, if changing the handle myself, is that an easy job? Or is there a risk of me breaking the glass when removing the old one and putting the new one? Seems the old handle are fix to the frame with something like a rivet maybe?
Or should I get a trade man to do it for me – I guess if the glass gets broken, then it would be his responsibility to replace it at his cost / insurance?
Do anyone know how far the glass go within the metallic case of the window? Just concern that if you drill in that frame to remove the old handle – if the glass go under that that side case, then the glass could just blow up!
