Window seal replacement in Kyiv — choose a master or a company on OKNA.ua
Is your window draughty, is cold coming in under the sash, is there condensation on the glass or a whistle in the wind? The usual cause is a hardened, worn seal — the rubber gasket around the perimeter of the sash and frame that goes stiff and cracks over the years. On OKNA.ua you compare masters and window companies that replace seals in uPVC, timber and aluminium windows in Kyiv and the region. Choose a provider in the catalogue on this page — by price, rating and lead time — and send a request. Matching the seal to your system, measuring and replacing it around the whole perimeter are all done by the Kyiv company you choose, not by OKNA.ua.
When a seal needs replacing
- The window is draughty. Cold comes in under the sash even when it is shut tight.
- Condensation and mould. Moisture appears on the glass and reveals, and mould in the corners, because the rebate no longer seals.
- The rubber has gone stiff. The seal has hardened, cracked or flattened and no longer springs back.
- Whistling and noise. You hear a whistle in windy weather and more street noise indoors.
- Many years have passed. The window is several years old and the seal has never been changed — worth renewing even as a precaution before winter.
How a seal is replaced
- Inspection and matching. The chosen company's master identifies the profile system (REHAU, VEKA, WDS, KBE, Salamander and others) and selects a seal with the right groove profile.
- Removing the old gasket and cleaning the groove around the perimeter of the sash and frame.
- Fitting the new seal all the way round; if needed, the master adjusts the hardware so the sash presses tight.
There is no need to take the sash off and carry it to a workshop — the replacement is done on site, in your flat or house in Kyiv or the region.
What the price of a seal replacement in Kyiv depends on
A seal is an inexpensive material: it is priced by the linear metre. The final cost depends on the type of seal (EPDM, TPE, silicone or rubber), the colour, the total length of the perimeter, and the number and size of sashes and windows. If a hardware adjustment is needed along with the swap, it is counted separately. That is why Kyiv masters and companies calculate the price individually for your windows. Compare the offers of Kyiv providers in the catalogue on this page and choose by price and lead time.

Questions and answers
How much does a window seal replacement cost in Kyiv?
A seal is an inexpensive material, priced by the linear metre. The cost depends on the type of seal (EPDM, TPE, silicone, rubber), the colour, the total length of the perimeter, and the number and size of sashes and windows; if a hardware adjustment is also needed, it is added separately. That is why Kyiv masters and companies calculate the price individually for your windows. Choose a company in the catalogue on OKNA.ua and send a request — you will get an exact quote for your windows in Kyiv.
Why is the window draughty even when it is shut tight?
Most often it is a worn seal: the rubber hardens, cracks and stops pressing tight, so air passes through the rebate. Replacing the seal around the whole perimeter of the sash and frame fixes it. Sometimes a hardware adjustment is also needed to restore a tight press — the master determines this during the inspection.
How often should the seal be replaced?
Roughly every few years — depending on the material, the quality of the rubber and the conditions (sun, frost, dirt). The main signal is not the calendar but the condition: if the rubber has hardened, cracked or flattened and the window has started to let draughts in, the seal is due for replacement. It is often renewed as a precaution before winter.
Which seal is better — EPDM, TPE or silicone?
EPDM (synthetic rubber) is the most common choice: resistant to frost, heat and UV, slow to crack and the best value. TPE holds its shape well and often comes as the factory fit on new windows. Silicone withstands the widest temperature range and does not stiffen in frost, but costs more. Ordinary rubber is the cheapest but lasts less. Your chosen company will help match the material to your windows.
Will they match the seal to my exact windows?
Yes. Different systems (REHAU, VEKA, WDS, KBE, Salamander and others) have different seal grooves, so the gasket profile is matched to yours. The easiest way is to add a photo of the groove or a sample of the old gasket to your request, and the company will find an exact match that sits in the groove and presses airtight.
Is it done at home, and how long does it take?
Yes, the replacement is done on site — in your flat or house in Kyiv or the region; there is no need to remove or transport the sash. Replacing the seal around the perimeter is usually quick, but the exact time depends on the number of windows and whether a hardware adjustment is needed; your chosen company states it via the request along with the price.
