Window and frame sealing for a neat finish

Inside and outside • Materials suited to the job • 2-year warranty

What do we handle?

Send overview and close-up photos of the windows, frames and access. We assess what is visible and give you a price indication.

Cracked, loose or open joints around windows and frames can let drafts or moisture through. We assess the cause and choose materials to suit the location, surface and movement.

Replace glazing sealant

We replace old or damaged sealant along the glass with suitable glazing sealant. It must be compatible with the glass, edge seal and frame. We follow the glazing system's instructions.

Frame joint outside

We carefully finish the joint between frame and facade to keep rainwater from entering through that joint. Required ventilation and drainage openings stay clear.

Frame joint inside

A neat joint between frame and wall or plaster. If an open joint is causing a draft, sealing it can help.

Remove old residue

We remove old sealant and residue carefully without unnecessarily damaging the surface. Putty cannot simply be swapped for sealant: we first assess the glass, rebate and frame condition.

A price indication from your photos

Every situation is different. Send overview and detail photos of the windows, frames and access; we give a price indication based on what is visible.

  • Windows & Frames ComfortPrice after photo check / indication

An indication based on your photos. We agree on the work and price before starting.

Sealant suited to your job

For your sealing job, we select materials suited to the joints, surfaces and expected movement.

Photo check

Overview and close-up photos help us assess the joint and access and give a price indication. We ask for more information if needed.

More comfort

If a draft comes through an open joint, carefully sealing it can improve comfort.

Materials suited to the weather

Outside, we choose professional sealant suited to the surfaces, movement and weather exposure.

2-year warranty

A warranty on the workmanship and adhesion of the sealant we apply.

Why inside and outside joints need a different approach

A frame requires a specific approach. We use the right material for each side:

Inside (finish & visibility)

Inside, we choose paintable sealant where suitable between frame and wall. Sealant, paint and joint must be compatible. Paint may still crack if it cannot follow the movement.

Outside (protection & flexibility)

Glazing sealant along glass and connection sealant between frame and facade do different jobs. We choose for the glazing and frame system, surfaces, movement and weather exposure.

Recognize the signals

Not sure if it’s needed? Check your frames for:

  • Drafts: you feel cold air along the frame.
  • Cracks: the sealant line is broken or pulling away from the glass.
  • Moisture: damp spots or condensation inside. These can have causes other than the sealant joint.
  • Green growth: a reason to check cleaning and moisture exposure. Growth alone does not prove the joint leaks.

How it works

  1. Photo & situation: send photos of the windows or facade and the accessibility.
  2. Price indication: we assess your photos and let you know the indication. We agree on the work and price before starting.
  3. The job: we work neatly inside and arrange safe access outside.
  4. Result: a carefully finished connection that suits the situation technically.

FAQ — Windows & Frames

Do you work at height?
We assess this beforehand. Height, access and a safe workspace determine the equipment needed. Send overview and close-up photos of the facade; we will let you know if we need more information.
Does sealing reduce outside noise?
If sound comes through an open air gap, sealing that gap may make some difference. Sealant is not general sound insulation and does not resolve sound travelling through glass or the building structure.
Can I clean the windows after sealing?
Wait until the new sealant has cured enough for cleaning. A dry skin does not mean the whole joint has cured. The wait depends on the product, joint and weather. After the job, we explain when and how to clean the windows.
Do I need to paint after sealing?
It depends on the glazing and frame system and the sealant. Coloured sealant may suit some joints; others need painting. We agree on this beforehand. Paintable sealant needs compatible paint and sufficient drying time; a permanently crack-free paint finish cannot be promised.
Do you provide a warranty?
You get a 2-year warranty on the workmanship and adhesion of sealant applied by De Kitbaas. When you report an issue, we first assess the cause. If it falls under warranty, we repair the affected sealant work at no charge.
