Re: How to seal aluminium frame holes?

Hello @VijayWani 

 

Thanks for sharing your question about your aluminium frame holes. I don't advise covering these holes as they are drain holes for the aluminium window rails. When you have a very strong downpour water will sometimes pool inside the rail of the window, to prevent water from leaking inside the house small exit windows are cut out in the channel to allow water to drain out.

 

If small lizards are finding their way in, I suggest using Moroday White Econo Weather Seal Tape around the sides of the window to prevent them from crawling in.

 

Here is a handy guide: How to winter-proof your home (some of the techniques will help seal your window)

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
