Wind-Driven Rain Window Solutions
Crookes, Stannington, Dore, Totley, Cawthorne and the Colne Valley all share the same problem — prevailing south-westerlies drive rain horizontally into single-glazed sashes and stone-mullioned casements that were never designed to resist it.
Why wind-driven rain gets through
Traditional sashes rely on gravity drainage. Under sustained horizontal wind pressure, the rain is pushed past the meeting rail and pools on the sill — the wet patch on the reveal isn't condensation, it's ingress.
The specification we install for exposed properties
Heavier-profile hinged units with compression seals full-perimeter (not brush seals) create a positive-pressure barrier the wind can't force. On stone-mullion openings we template each pane individually so nothing relies on packing.
Villages and postcodes we cover
