Dust on the Sill

What we do: New brush pile fitted along the sash.
Al Salam Tower, Office 15B, Al Barsha, DubaiEvery day, 8am to 10pm
Dust on the sill after every windy day, a whistle in the wind or a room the AC cannot cool are all signs of worn window seals. We replace brush seals, rubber gaskets and perimeter sealant, so windows keep out dust, heat, noise and rain.

Process
We check brush seals, gaskets, interlocks and perimeter sealant to find where air and dust get in.
Worn brush pile, cracked gaskets and old sealant are removed and channels cleaned.
Matched brush pile and gaskets are fitted, and perimeter joints resealed with flexible silicone.
The window is closed and checked for gaps, light and airflow.
Brush seals flatten and rubber gaskets shrink and crack under strong sun. Gaps that let in fine sand also let cooled air escape, so the AC runs longer to hold the same temperature. New seals often make a noticeable difference in hot west-facing rooms.
Noise is the other benefit. Homes near Sheikh Zayed Road or under flight paths hear less traffic once interlocks and gaskets seal properly.
If the sash itself is dropped, seals cannot work; see sliding window roller repair. For AC servicing, see AC maintenance in Dubai, and for insects, mosquito mesh replacement.
Light Test
At night, shine a torch around the closed window from outside a room. Light showing through means air is getting through too.
Before Summer
Replace seals in spring so the home is sealed before the hottest months.

Tools and Materials
Brush seals with a central fin for better airtightness. They block fine sand. They suit sliding sashes.
UV-resistant rubber gaskets. They stay flexible in the heat. Rattles and whistles stop.
Seals where two sashes meet. They stop draughts in the middle. Noise is reduced.
Flexible sealant for perimeter joints. It does not corrode aluminium. Water stays out.
Based in Al Barsha since 2014, we work across every Dubai community with trade-specialist technicians and a workmanship guarantee on every job.
We check every seal point. Only what is worn is replaced. You pay for what is needed.
Brush pile height and gaskets are matched. Windows still slide easily. Seals work properly.
Sealed windows keep cool air in. Rooms feel cooler. AC works less.
Good seals cut road and wind noise. Bedrooms are calmer. Sleep improves.
Seal replacement starts from AED 120 per window. Large balcony doors and full-home jobs are quoted together. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
Windows that stick, rattle, will not lock, let in dust, hot air or water, or show condensation between double-glazed panes need repair. Rising AC bills can also point to failing seals.
Squeaking usually comes from dry or worn rollers, sand in the track or a frame rubbing against the sash. Cleaning the track and replacing rollers normally stops it.
Most window repairs, such as new rollers, locks or seals, take one to two hours per window. Glass replacement can take longer if the pane has to be cut to size and fitted on a second visit.
Most aluminium and uPVC windows can be repaired with new rollers, locks, seals or glass. Replacement is only worth it when frames are corroded, bent or badly warped.
