When should window seals be replaced?

How long do window seals actually last?

Window seals should be replaced after 15 years at the latestas seals often wear out unnoticed and lose a lot of their effectiveness. This is noticeable when cleaning the windows due to black residue (soot particles added to the formula of older window seals) in the cloth. It is very extreme and unmistakable when the window seals are hard and crumbled.

By then at the latest, the seals have stopped working and must be replaced immediately. The consequences of this are not only associated with much higher heating costs, but also with an uncomfortable and unhealthy feeling in the home due to draughts. Although the room temperature is 22°C, it always seems as if there is a draught and it is not really warm in the rooms.
