This British Standard gives recommendations for the draught control of existing doors and windows in housing where this is carried out as a retro-fit measure. The guidance given mainly concerns the fitting of draughtstrips to doors and windows using the types of draughtstrip specified in BS 7386 but guidance is also given on the fitting of draughtstrips to loft hatches and the use of sealants.
The fitting of draughtstrips as smoke control seals and the installation of secondary glazing as a draught control measure for windows are outside the scope of this standard.
A list of advisory bodies is given in Annex A and notes on air leakage testing in dwellings in Annex B.
