FAQs

How long does the Stormguard uPVC Universal Seal last?

The seal is made from durable materials that are resistant to UV, water, and temperature. With proper installation and care, it should last for many years.

Can I paint over the Stormguard seal?

It is not recommended to paint over the seal, as this could compromise its flexibility and sealing properties.

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll need a measuring tape, scissors or a sharp knife to cut the seal, and potentially a cleaning cloth to clean the frame.

Is the seal suitable for all types of uPVC windows and doors?

The seal is designed to fit the majority of uPVC frames. However, it's always recommended to check the profile and groove of your existing seal to ensure a good fit.

How do I clean the Stormguard seal?

Wipe the seal with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the warranty on the Stormguard uPVC Universal Seal?

Please refer to the product packaging or your point of purchase for warranty information.

Can I use this seal on wooden frames?

This seal is designed specifically for uPVC frames. It may not be suitable for wooden frames.

Troubleshooting

Seal doesn't fit properly.

Ensure the correct size and type of seal is used. Check the frame groove for obstructions. If the original seal shape differs, the performance should still be satisfactory.

Drafts persist after installation.

Double-check the seal around the frame for any gaps. Ensure the seal is securely pushed into the groove. Consider checking other areas of the window or door for drafts.

Seal is difficult to install.

Make sure the frame is clean and free of debris. Lubricate the seal or the frame with a little water or a suitable lubricant for easier installation. Use a blunt tool, like a putty knife, to push the seal into the groove.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Preparation: Clean the existing frame groove, removing any old sealant, debris, or dirt. Ensure the frame is dry.
Measurement: Measure the length of the frame where the seal will be installed. Cut the Stormguard uPVC Universal Seal to the required length using a sharp knife or scissors. It's better to cut slightly longer and trim if necessary.
Installation: Push the seal firmly into the existing groove on the uPVC frame. Ensure the flange is properly seated to create a tight seal. Start at one corner and work your way around the frame.
Finishing: Once installed, check the seal around the entire frame to ensure there are no gaps. Trim any excess seal material.

Compatibility

The Stormguard uPVC Universal Seal is designed to fit the majority of uPVC windows and doors. It is also compatible with the Stormguard Slimline Threshold range.

Care

The Stormguard seal requires minimal care. Occasionally, wipe the seal with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these could damage the seal. Regularly inspect the seal for any signs of wear and tear, and replace if necessary.
